Education Support is our Charity Partner. We think that the services provided by Education Support are invaluable. Now more than ever, schools are working under intense pressures, so to know that there is support out there for staff is fantastic. Together, we can all help to improve the mental health and wellbeing of education staff which is long overdue. We all believe that this will have a positive impact on the education system as a whole. “Everyone has times in their life when they need help and support, and the service provides just that for a range of topics, including financial and legal issues. It’s reassuring to know that our colleagues are supported in this way, and we would recommend that all schools look into this type of support for their staff.

‘We all need a bit of extra help sometimes and I think it reflects really well on us as a school that we offer it, and that people are comfortable taking up that offer. It means they aren’t afraid to use it and trust the support available.’ Holy Family Catholic School.
