Why teacher wellbeing matters
Teacher stress doesn't stay in the staffroom
When teachers are struggling, the whole school feels it. Staff wellbeing is not just a welfare question. It is a financial question, a retention question, and a pupil outcomes question.
Teacher absence costs more than most schools realise
At an average of £1,700 per teacher per year in cover costs alone, absence is one of the most preventable drains on a school budget. Stress and burnout are the leading cause.
Losing a teacher costs up to £40,000
Recruiting a replacement costs between £3,000 and £40,000 depending on the role. Retaining your existing teachers is significantly more cost-effective than replacing them.
Early career teachers are leaving fastest
1 in 3 early career teachers leaves the profession within five years. Poor wellbeing support is consistently cited as a key reason. The pipeline is not the only problem. Retention is.
Pupil outcomes are directly affected
Stressed teachers cannot give their best. When teachers leave, vulnerable pupils lose the consistency and trust they depend on. Teacher wellbeing and pupil achievement are linked.
Schools that look after their teachers look after their pupils.
