Chalk Education

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

At Chalk Education, we believe education should be a space where everyone feels safe, respected, valued, and able to be themselves.

This month we celebrate diversity, inclusion, and the importance of creating supportive environments for both students and education professionals. Diverse schools and teams bring different perspectives, experiences, and strengths that help create more inclusive and understanding learning environments for all.

We’re proud to support schools and workplaces where people feel a true sense of belonging 🤍

Because positive education starts with kindness, acceptance, and people being celebrated for who they are. 🌈

Today marks Teacher Resignation Day, a reminder of just how many educators are reflecting on their future, workload, wellbeing, and work-life balance. ✨

Teaching is one of the most rewarding careers, but it can also be incredibly demanding. Whether you’re considering a new setting, a fresh start, more flexibility, or simply exploring your options, it’s important to know you don’t have to navigate it alone.

At Chalk Education, we’re here to support teachers and education professionals at every stage of their journey, helping you find opportunities where you feel valued, supported, and able to thrive.

Sometimes the right move isn’t leaving education altogether, it’s finding the right environment within it 💙

Sunshine and half term- the perfect combination ☀️🍎

We hope schools, staff, and students have been making the most of the sunshine and enjoying a well-earned break this week.

Half term can also be a great time to pause, reset, and start thinking about new opportunities 👀 Whether you’re looking for your next role within education or considering a fresh start for September, the Chalk Education team is here to support you.

Last Friday, Jemma and Wendy had the pleasure of attending Edge Hill University to celebrate the final day for the Undergraduate Primary QTS cohort !

The Education faculty was full of excitement as students finished their final lectures ahead of their Leavers Ball later that evening. With teaching careers beginning in September 2026, it was such a special moment to see so many future educators ready to take their next steps into the classroom.

A huge congratulations to everyone graduating, we wish you all the best for the future 🎓✨

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚🧠

In education, supporting others is part of everyday life.

Teachers, teaching assistants, support staff and school teams give so much of themselves to help children feel safe, encouraged and supported, but it’s just as important to look after the wellbeing of the people behind the classrooms too.

From managing workload pressures to creating positive, supportive environments, mental wellbeing in education matters.

We’re proud to support schools and education professionals in building happier, healthier working environments where people feel valued and supported.

When educators are supported, students thrive too!

If you’re looking for your next role in education, or support strengthening your team, we’re here to help.

1st May, a new month already!

Schools are deep into the summer term now, with exams underway and classrooms in full flow. It’s a busy time, but also an important one, with so much happening behind the scenes to support pupils through the final stretch of the year.

For candidates, this is often when new opportunities start to open up as schools look to strengthen their teams.

If you’ve been thinking about working in education, now is a great time to take that first step ✨

A story we’re really proud to share 🤍

Recently, Reiss, our Business Development Manager, and his family took on the challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, a cause incredibly close to them.

We’re so pleased to share that the climb was a success! The weather was kind, spirits were high, and the children did amazingly well every step of the way.

Reiss’ son, Theo, lives with Cystic Fibrosis, a lifelong condition that requires daily care, treatment, and ongoing support. His nephew also took part in the climb and chose to support this cause alongside him.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust continues to do vital work funding research and supporting families, and this climb was all about raising awareness and giving back.

If you’d still like to support, donations are always appreciated:
