What the school offers its staff
Within the school there is a genuine understanding that working in education is both hugely rewarding yet demanding. Staff have other claims on their time outside of school, which can change over time and support is always available whatever the need. Work/life balance is certainly not a platitude at Westborough, rather decisions are carefully thought through in terms of the impact on the staff body.
Staff can request up to three ‘well-being days’ throughout the academic year – these can be used for a range of events such as attending weddings, birthday events, helping young children settle at school to simply needing a bit of time to yourself. The system has been in place for several years now and is greatly appreciated by staff.
