  Our teachers work very hard but they only ever do work which is going to make a difference for our pupils. Quite simply, we believe in common sense approaches to everything. That means:

  • Our teachers do minimal marking. Why spend ages with a red pen when there are much better ways to give pupils the feedback they need? ; • We never ask for lesson plans. Of any kind. Ever. ; • Although schemes of work and resources are provided, they are not prescriptive – we cherish individual approaches to delivery. ; • There is no pressure to ‘put on a show’ in lessons: A culture of typicality is reinforced by no lesson gradings (outstanding, good, etc). ; • Everyone has the highest expectations of behaviour, with all staff (not just teaching staff) reinforcing those expectations. ; • A clear system of sanctions is applied consistently so staff don’t have to battle with pupils. ; • Senior Leadership are very visible and all staff ‘own’ their corridors. ; • CPD is tailored specifically to staff needs, based off their feedback. This includes a fully funded Masters programme available to everyone. ; • There are no prizes for looking busy or staying late – we work in a way that suits us we make sure you make time for ourselves and our families.

  That’s just 9 of the things we do to secure our teachers’ well-being. There are many more here: http://www.barrbeaconschool.co.uk/47-things-we-do-staff-well-being/
