Thursday 1 December, 16:00-17:00

Under pressure: How can school leaders manage their wellbeing while tackling tough decisions?

School leaders face hard decisions every day – with the last few years on another scale altogether. From responding to the demands caused by a global pandemic, to budgeting for skyrocketing energy bills – the impact of decision making in schools can leave leaders feeling overwhelmed. And for schools serving the poorest communities, the pressures can weigh even heavier.

In this panel, we’ll discuss the risks of getting things right or wrong for the people and communities we care about. When the stakes are so high, what can leaders do to manage their personal wellbeing and what support is out there to help them make the big calls?

Panellists

Clare Spence – Achievement Partner at Teach First (Panel Chair)

Jonny Uttley – CEO of The Education Alliance, Yorkshire

Francisca Overare-Olabisi – Assistant Principal at Oasis Academy, Oldham

Laura Fordham – Associate Deputy Headteacher at Bedford Academy
