Strategic Leadership of Wellbeing That Is Sustainable

At SAS, we recognise that lasting success and meaningful culture change within schools and trusts begin with strong, effective leadership. That’s why we provide Leadership Support – strategic, hands-on guidance designed specifically for school and trust leaders responsible for driving school improvement – free with all SAS policies.

This support gives you access to proven tools and the insight of an experienced school leader who has already walked this path. They understand first-hand the transformative impact a whole-school or trust-wide wellbeing culture can have – not only on staff and pupil wellbeing but also on overall school improvement.

Your Wellbeing Journey

Empowering Leaders – We provide school leaders with an understanding of their own wellbeing and how to plan for and lead the wellbeing of staff and students using the latest research showing how a positive whole school/ trust wellbeing culture can impact stress levels and academic outcomes.

Whole-School ApproachOur school leadership expert will take you through a six step process to embed whole school/trust wellbeing through a programme of training, audit, planning and delivery drawing on in house tools as well as resources from the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools at Leeds Beckett University. 

Proven Impact – Drawing on 30 years of research and experience, our approach has seen standards rise, staff more fulfilled and students more engaged and especially important at this time, it helps to make your school/ trust an employer of choice.

At SAS we believe that wellbeing is a journey not a destination and that great leaders make this happen. As a policy holder you have our support to make this happen. Let’s make it happen, together!
