“98% of participants report a positive impact on their professional practice” Ofsted, 2024
The flourishing programme
The programme is built around a dual focus:
- Personal growth: Supporting teachers to deepen their understanding of who they are, what sustains them and how they can maintain a sense of purpose in a demanding profession.
- Professional transformation: Encouraging teachers to evolve their practice in ways that are creative, inclusive and responsive to the needs of their pupils and school communities. Through a blend of research-informed content, reflective activities and collaborative dialogue, participants are encouraged to think critically, challenge assumptions and experiment with new approaches. The tone is invitational rather than prescriptive, because teachers are not expected to conform to fixed models, but to engage with ideas that are both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant.
The flourishing domains
Inspired by Harvard’s research on flourishing, which identifies key domains essential for well-being, such as purpose, relationships, and emotional health. These domains highlight what adults need to flourish personally and professionally.
Purpose: A clear, shared purpose unites everyone in the school community, providing direction and meaning. It inspires collective commitment to a common vision grounded in the school’s identity, mission and values.
Relationships: Flourishing depends on the quality of our relationships. When pupils, teachers, leaders and families feel valued and connected, schools become inclusive communities where everyone can thrive within a supportive and innovative environment.
Teaching and Learning: Pupil success is closely linked to the ongoing learning of teachers and the wider school community. By working together as a ‘community of practice,’ teachers continually develop their skills, fostering intellectual growth alongside shared values and mutual respect.
Resources and Expertise: The environment matters. Beyond having sufficient physical, technological and human resources, flourishing requires responsible stewardship - valuing, sharing and managing resources fairly to support all members of the school community.
Wellbeing: The wellbeing of pupils and staff is vital. Healthy habits and resilience enable flourishing, but teachers must prioritise their own wellbeing first to maintain their capacity to support others effectively and avoid burnout.
