It is vital that headteachers and senior leaders keep a close eye on their own stress levels and wellbeing. Doing so is not self-indulgent or a sign of weakness. It is actually demonstrative of leading from the front, putting yourself out there for the world and colleagues to see. This can lead to the normalisation of school staff seeking support.
School leaders who demonstrate through their actions the importance of being transparent when seeking help are in fact sending a message to colleagues that true strength lies not in keeping things “bottled up”, but in sharing our problems and seeking help or support.
