Who is looking out for the people looking out for everyone else?

Every day, education staff make the wellbeing of children and young people a priority.

They notice when something seems different. They ask questions. They listen. They respond to concerns and make sure children know there are people around them who care.

But what about the adults doing all of this?

In the middle of supporting others, their own wellbeing can sometimes take a back seat.

This Su***de Awareness Month, we’re reflecting on the importance of making sure adults in education have people they can talk to, opportunities to share what they are carrying and support when they need it.

Sometimes, it starts with something simple: asking how someone really is, taking the time to listen and letting them know they don't have to manage everything alone.

The people who spend so much of their time looking out for others need looking out for too.

Let’s make sure they have someone they can turn to💚

🔋 How prepared is your school for the growing use of lithium-ion batteries?

E-bikes, e-scooters, laptops and power banks are increasingly part of everyday life - but they can also introduce additional fire safety considerations.

Our latest Health & Safety blog explores what schools should be thinking about and how a few sensible checks can help manage the risk.

When a community comes together to remember someone special, it can achieve incredible things. 💫

From 26–28 August, members of ONE Academy Trust will be walking 70 miles from Old Trafford to Shardlow Primary School in memory of their much-loved colleague, Julia Gillard. 💚

The challenge is raising money for Maggie's. If you haven't come across their work before, Maggie's provides free practical, emotional and psychological support to people living with cancer, as well as their families and friends.

We're pleased to support this fantastic fundraising effort and help raise awareness of the challenge.

If you're able to, please consider making a donation or sharing the fundraiser with your network. Every contribution helps support Maggie's and the people who rely on its services.

We wish Jake and everyone taking part the very best of luck. It's an incredible challenge for a truly worthwhile cause.

🌡️Are your classrooms ready for hotter days?

Most schools have at least one classroom that becomes uncomfortably warm during the summer months.

While there is currently no legal maximum workplace temperature in the UK, expectations around managing heat are changing.

Simple actions such as monitoring classroom temperatures, improving ventilation and identifying overheating hotspots can help protect staff wellbeing and create better learning environments for pupils.

Read our latest blog to discover practical steps schools can take now - and questions worth asking for the future.

With new anaphylaxis expectations coming into schools from September 2026, many settings are starting to think about practical next steps.

But beyond equipment, training and procedures, there are still lots of questions about what senior leaders will actually be expected to do, where accountability sits, and how emerging guidance will work in practice.

That's why we're running a FREE webinar for senior leaders and school business managers.

We'll be discussing:
• What we know so far about the upcoming expectations
• Legal duties and statutory guidance
• Accountability for leaders and governors
• Policies, systems and oversight
• Staff training, emergency preparedness and individual plans

Please note: this is not clinical training. The focus is on helping schools understand their responsibilities and prepare strategically for the changes ahead.

📅 Spaces are free, but registration is essential.

A well-designed timetable is often invisible.

When it works, teaching and learning can flourish without disruption. When it doesn't, the impact can be felt across curriculum delivery, staffing, pupil experience, and the day-to-day operation of a school.

One of the most common questions we encounter when supporting schools is whether a one-week or two-week timetable is the better option.

The reality? There is no universally "best" model. The right approach depends on your curriculum intent, pupil needs, staffing structure, and operational priorities.

In our latest blog, we explore the strengths and challenges of both approaches and the key considerations for leaders reviewing their timetable design.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week is a reminder that wellbeing in schools is often shaped by the small things people experience every day.

Feeling listened to.

Feeling safe.

Having consistency.

Knowing support is available when it’s needed.

In schools, mental health impacts many areas of daily life - including attendance, safeguarding, SEND support, staff wellbeing and the wider school environment.

And while awareness weeks are important, creating positive cultures in schools is something that happens through everyday practice - through relationships, communication, structure and support across the whole school community. Schools continue to do an enormous amount to support both pupils and staff, often behind the scenes and under significant demands.

At SchoolPro, we believe looking after our own team is just as important. Creating a supportive environment and making space for wellbeing, balance and communication is something we value strongly as a company - because strong teams are built when people feel supported.

This week is an opportunity to recognise the importance of continuing to build environments where people feel supported, included and able to thrive.

SATs week is about far more than assessments.

Behind the scenes, schools are balancing an enormous amount all at once - supporting pupils through exams while also managing attendance, safeguarding responsibilities, SEND provision, staffing pressures, parent communication and the day-to-day running of the school.

For many staff, it’s one of the busiest and most demanding periods of the term.

What often goes unseen is the level of preparation, teamwork and consistency it takes to keep everything moving smoothly while ensuring pupils feel supported and confident throughout the week.

Wishing all schools, staff and pupils the very best over the coming days.
