Staff Well-being at TWS

We believe in looking after our team.

The Wren has a growing culture of supporting staff well-being which is outlined through our staff well-being charter, titled Looking after our team @ TWS. At The Wren, we have reviewed policies, such as our ‘old’ marking policy and since January 2021 this was replaced with a feedback policy, in addition to this we have reviewed our processes around reporting to ensure that we are being considerate of workload and well-being with what we ask of staff through working smart and ensuring all data gathered is useful moving forwards.

In addition, we prove how seriously we take well-being through commitments to:

• Each colleague is entitled to a wellbeing day once a year.
• Teaching staff engage in twilight professional development sessions to replace INSET days, which allows two further days at home each year.
• We pay our teaching staff the ‘London Fringe’ allowance.
• We have access to exceptional professional development both in-house and across the Trust through our EAT Professional Learning resource.
• We commit to coaching and all staff can access coaching if suitable.
• We commit to performance development which focuses on developing you in your role to become an exceptional professional.
• Staff Wellness Room: A work free space for moments of rest and relaxation.

The Wellbeing Charter – Looking After our Team @ TWS

Launched in September 2023, our wellbeing charter was developed by the leadership team in collaboration with the well-being committee.
