Protecting staff well-being with brief shared reflection
School life is demanding, and the final weeks of term can feel intense. A short end-of-day catch-up, gives staff space to breathe and reconnect as a team. Ask a single question such as “What helped today feel settled or positive.”
These small pauses strengthen team cohesion and can help staff feel supported rather than isolated. When adults regulate together, it creates a calmer emotional climate for pupils. Even five minutes of shared reflection can shift stress into connection.
