When teachers are struggling, the whole school feels it. Staff wellbeing is not just a welfare question. It is a financial question, a retention question, and a pupil outcomes question.
At an average of £1,700 per teacher per year in cover costs alone, absence is one of the most preventable drains on a school budget. Stress and burnout are the leading cause.
Recruiting a replacement costs between £3,000 and £40,000 depending on the role. Retaining your existing teachers is significantly more cost-effective than replacing them.
1 in 3 early career teachers leaves the profession within five years. Poor wellbeing support is consistently cited as a key reason. Retention is a major concern throughout the education sector.
Teacher wellbeing and pupil achievement are linked. Pupils in classes with highly stressed teachers have lower educational, social and emotional outcomes.
Schools that look after their teachers look after their pupils.

"A personal space for teachers to refill and restore."
A quiet space for the people who hold the room
"Accessible, practical support exactly when teachers need it, rather than waiting until they reach breaking point."
"Available whenever needed, not by appointment or by someone else's diary. That is what makes it different."
"So many passionate teachers are being lost to burnout. Change is needed and Teacher Restore is part of that change."
"I would absolutely recommend Teacher Restore, especially for anyone who feels drained or emotionally tired after work."
Fewer absences. Better retention. Happier teachers.
