What heads and trust leaders tell us
Workload, retention and staffroom friction, across one school or many.
Retention is the real crisis
Losing an experienced teacher mid-year disrupts pupils and stretches everyone else.
Staff-on-staff friction stays hidden
Tensions between colleagues or with leaders rarely show up until a grievance lands.
Trusts lack a comparable view
Each school measures differently, so trust leaders cannot see where support is needed.
