The wellbeing of staff in schools has never been more important. With almost a third of new staff leaving the profession after just five years and almost 30% of teachers saying they are thinking of leaving in the next 12 months (National Foundation for Educational Research), we are facing a teacher and school leader retention crisis. The We Lead Well Podcast has been created in response to this crisis, to encourage and support school leaders to create places where people love to work. We support school leaders to enhance their own wellbeing and that of all the staff in their schools. Each week, leading educationalists share their experience, views and tips on how other school leaders can lead better and ensure better wellbeing in their organisations for the benefit of themselves and all of their staff.

Unlocking Leadership Potential: A Deep Dive into School Improvement with Ben White
In this episode of the We Lead Well podcast, I talk to Ben White, the Director of School Improvement for Life Multi-Academy Trusts in Leicestershire. Ben shares his experiences in supporting leaders and headteachers across a diverse group of secondary and primary schools, focusing on enhancing teaching and learning environments.
We discussed the significance of developing a holistic leadership approach through programs like Resilient Leaders Elements and the challenges and benefits of creating a culture rooted in clear values and expectations. We talk about the complexities of aligning school policies with a school's unique culture and how a flexible framework can empower teachers.
Ben also shares insights from his work on diversity and anti-racist initiatives within the education sector, emphasising the importance of seeking external expertise and engaging in uncomfortable but necessary conversations to foster inclusivity and equity.
