“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.”
