Course outline:
The health and happiness of both staff and pupils are essential to achieving sustainable, high performance as individuals and as a community. This seminar offers delegates the opportunity to reflect on their school’s current approach to wellbeing and explore practical strategies for embedding a culture that supports mental, emotional, and physical health.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, awareness of work–life balance, mental health, and the emotional demands of boarding life has grown significantly.

Learning outcomes:

- Practical tools for creating an environment where healthy high performance can flourish
- Awareness of the mutual impact of staff and pupil wellbeing, and how to support both through proactive culture and strategy
