Cross-school wellbeing and staff CPD

We chat with Lizzie Varley, an education advisor with Cognita Schools based in the Middle East, to discover how a cross-school focus on student wellbeing encompasses everything from staff development and helping pupils develop a positive mindset to considering how artificial intelligence will change the world children will inhabit and preparing them for this.

She also talks about the importance of senior leadership buy-in towards wellbeing initiatives and how to balance this with pressure to deliver high academic outcomes at scale.
