School Staff Experience Report 2025

What’s improving and what still needs urgent attention?

Edurio’s annual national staff experience report captures the views of over 85,000 school staff across England, including teachers, teaching assistants, school leaders, administrative staff, and central trust teams. It offers a three-year perspective on how working life in schools is changing.

From workload and wellbeing to leadership, support and career development, the findings reveal where progress is being made and where challenges remain.

This year’s update spotlights key trends from the 2024/25 academic year, helping you make sense of what’s ahead.

Whether you lead a school or oversee strategy across a trust, this report gives you the insight to act with confidence.

This national report on staff experience from Edurio highlights encouraging signs that retention is improving, but the challenges remain clear. Trust and school leaders can use these findings to focus on the issues staff tell us matter most – workload, feeling valued, and wellbeing.

Addressing these drivers with intent will be crucial if we are to build sustainable teams and keep talented colleagues in our schools.
