‘People Who Feel Good Perform Well’ (Charles Handy). In any organisation, leadership, management and delivery must be underpinned by a happy and engaged staff who feel largely in control of their lives and are able to perform at their best. School leaders have faced unprecedented challenge over the past year, responding to the pandemic and the need to provide strong support at all levels in a range of circumstances. Promoting staff well-being and providing support strategies can be the key to success. Barbi Goulding-Parr will give an overview of how schools can highlight wellbeing and support resilience to enhance performance and ensure success.
