Edurio has published a report on staff retention in academies, based on their 'Staff well-being and working conditions' survey
The main conclusions are
- School leaders should evaluate both working conditions and relationships within their schools, as both areas have a strong link with staff retention
- In order to reduce staff workload, most gains can be found in reducing marking and assessment as well as data input and administrative tasks
- There needs to be a strong focus on building a culture of engagement for staff members, where their feedback is heard and seen to be taken into account
- Multi-academy trust leadership teams need to adapt interventions for the different conditions in each of their schools - a 'one-size-fits-all' solution for all schools in a trust is unlikely to help them retain staff
- Communication emerged as a key concern, with 11% of staff mentioning it as an area for improvement
