With the arrival of the new year, Headteachers are expected to ensure that school staff and students are happy, as well as lead their school to success.
This being said, it’s best practice for Headteachers to prepare for any challenges that may come their way. This can be done through supporting staff wellbeing, implementing effective teaching practices and ensuring that all students have the best resources to succeed.
Headteachers could face challenges in recruitment shortfalls, student attainment and staff wellbeing, with stress and burnout driving many to leave the profession.
To help Headteachers prepare for the year ahead, recruitment agency, Spencer Clarke Group, have created a blog with the 5 biggest challenges facing Headteachers in 2025.
