Our seventh annual survey of over 3,004 education staff shows that wellbeing in the sector is poor and continues to decline.
Senior leaders remain at particular risk and there has also been a significant decline in the overall wellbeing of classroom teachers.
The report also shows that significant feelings of loneliness and isolation are experienced by staff in the sector, with teachers and education staff feeling twice as lonely at work compared to the national population for England.
This year we asked about educators’ experience of inspections. Staff tell us that they have little trust in the inspection system, raising questions about the effectiveness of inspections, the impact on school leader and staff wellbeing and implications for learner outcomes.
