Ministers are looking set to extend a mental health support package for headteachers as hundreds wait for help amid soaring demand.
Education Support offers six free professional supervision sessions for staff in assistant headteacher roles and above as part of a £1 million Department for Education scheme.
But the waiting list reached 200 earlier this year, with the department now looking to extend the “tailored wellbeing support” when Education Support’s contract ends in March.
In an early contract notice, the department said it was “assessing the next phase of this provision, which builds on the evidence from the current contract”.
