The Wellbeing Resolution: Lessons from ‘The Elephant in the Staffroom’

Teachers are hitting a wall, and everyone knows it. According to the 2026 TES Wellbeing Report, 71% of teachers describe their workload as unmanageable. 61% do not see a future in the profession, and 54% of those plan to walk within five years. Only 3% manage to keep their work within contracted hours.

Staff mental health is not a secondary issue to sort once the data drops and marking piles are cleared. Chronic stress and exhaustion cost schools great teachers every single term. Without genuine, workable intervention, burnout is simply a matter of time.

Join author Chris Eyre, on this 60-minute session, as he cuts through platitudes and provides staff practical ways to protect their mental health and reclaim control of their working week. We make New Year’s resolutions in every other aspect of our lives; it’s time for some teacher New Year's resolutions.

• Address the guilt and internal pressure driving teachers into the ground. Break down the unhealthy thought patterns that make good professionals feel they are never doing enough.
• Strip back low-impact marking, reset expectations around administrative busywork, and install hard boundaries so evenings and weekends actually belong to you.
• Learn how to work on one priority at a time and build an operational rhythm that protects your mental capacity during the term.
• Take part in a free prize draw to win a signed copy of 'The Elephant in the Staffroom' during the webinar.

Register for the live webinar and you will get access to the recording for six months. If you can make it to the live session, we will bump that up to nine months of access for your whole department.

Price: £55.00 plus a £0.75 booking fee.
