Three-quarters of all school staff are stressed, new research has found, with symptoms of burnout and depression on the rise for some roles.
Findings from the teacher wellbeing index 2022, carried out by the charity Education Support, show a three percentage point increase in the number of education staff who described themselves as stressed since 2021.
Last week, Schools Week exclusively revealed how more than a third of senior leaders had told the annual survey they were actively looking to leave the sector.
While 75 per cent of all education staff said they were stressed, levels differed by job role.
Senior leaders continued to experience the greatest stress – with 84 per cent describing themselves as stressed.
