The Belsteads School, Essex

Special SEMH School

How we built a culture of staff and pupil mental wellbeing   

 

'We are a special school for children with social, emotional, and mental health issues (SEMH).  All students have an educational health care plan (EHCP). Although we are based in Essex, we work with several different local authorities. Many of our young people are autistic and have ADHD too.

'Cultures of Staff Wellbeing and Mental Health in Schools' Steve Waters (2021)  

Image of front cover of Cultures of Staff Wellbeing and Mental Health in Schools

Find answers to these questions and more:

  • What is Burnout?
  • What are the Maslach Burnout Factors?
  • What is 'buffer leadership?
  • What are the Waters Indices of Wellbeing and Mental Health?
  • How does your school develop a culture of staff mental health?

Contains 32 case-studies written by schools, describing how they  improved staff mental health. 

'This book offers a combination of research-informed practical advice alongside powerful stories of schools where leaders have the courage and wisdom to see that wellbeing is a fundamental part of every school...What draws all of these case studies together...is that every school has to "find a way through" against the overall tide of anxiety related to system-level performance pressure.'
