Human approach to cover- Matt has made a concerted effort to acknowledge heavy cover weeks and say thank you which has been hugely appreciated.

Longer assemblies

Genuine check ins and gratitude from some staff for hard work

# data[].attributes.body
Extended assemblies

# data[].attributes.body
Good team dynamics and feeling like you have colleagues to talk to, more external cover

# data[].attributes.body
The use of technology which makes everything a lot easier, especially making notes and keeping track of things

# data[].attributes.body
Appreciate the longer assemblies.

# data[].attributes.body
Cover and duties seem to have reduced this year, which is great and very helpful!

# data[].attributes.body
Extended assembly. As well as frequent drop in sessions from management

# data[].attributes.body
Clearer comms.

# data[].attributes.body
Martine daily updates.

Appreciative staff for cover.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to talk to others and getting the help you need ( if needed). Feeling appreciated.

# data[].attributes.body
Encouraging cohesion and team bonding

# data[].attributes.body
Lunch, non-contact time, exercise classes, clear plans for lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Supportive year group teams

# data[].attributes.body
Free time throughout the day to get things done, takes stress away from working in evenings and at weekends

# data[].attributes.body
Group 4 notes

# data[].attributes.body
Some lunches not day with children.

# data[].attributes.body
More whole js group socialising

# data[].attributes.body
Support staff paid at lunch when on duty for majority of break

# data[].attributes.body
Week/fortnight ahead email with rehearsals, events, fixtures on mapped out for each day.

# data[].attributes.body
Appreciate how cover and duties are arranged now to take in consideration of lessons.

Good understanding when emergency occurs in personal life.

Time off from some assemblies at pinch points.

# data[].attributes.body
More social times to get to know different team members

# data[].attributes.body
More social opportunities to improve the JS community

# data[].attributes.body
Lunch with other adults!

# data[].attributes.body
Several well-being initiatives (eg staff swimming, staff singing) start before 5pm - could there be an understanding that staff don’t need to ask for permission to leave early (pre-5pm) to attend these?

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes it’s difficult to talk openly to colleagues who don’t know you very well. Also, We don’t have as many social opportunities as we did - maybe that could be something to be looked at, and different types of socials, not just going to the pub. Not every colleague is in a team at work so it might be harder for some people to feel included/have people to voice issues to

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at allowing teachers a full lunch break- not sitting with children to have time to recuperate to teach the afternoon.

# data[].attributes.body
Staff lunch without the children maybe once a half term or term

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding that workloads are tackled in different ways, times and individual approaches

# data[].attributes.body
More mindful and empathetic communication around being off school for being unwell vs being tired.

A kinder and consistent human approach towards staff who are going through personal issues such as bereavement, illness, home issues. Better support for them in school.

Greater budget and thought to provide staff bonding and time together. Social events or small invites to time spent together.

More time in the day for staff to connect as lunch times and break times are often worked through by most staff.

# data[].attributes.body
We appreciate the intention to hear staff voice and take on board different views, but we don’t always feel that this is happening, especially as term goes on and everyone has more on their plates. We would like to think that our suggestions/disagreements/ questions are a sign of engagement and desire to make things better. Sometimes saying nothing is a sign of disengagement.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should be allowed to leave earlier/when we feel like we have done our work, especially if all our work is done or we want to continue at home. Also sometimes we have only 25 mins to eat lunch and that feels like a very big rush.

# data[].attributes.body
A clear avenue to approach SLT (probably Emma?) if staff need to discuss a personal matter that has some bearing on their work, to create the idea that it's okay/"normal" to need that support

Further work on cover load - it can be stressful to cover certain subjects at short notice when you don't teach them. Leaving an easy cover with staff new to the class/subject would also be helpful, rather than ploughing ahead as though the usual teacher is in the room

# data[].attributes.body
Children do not need staff sat with them on every table. Would be brilliant for staff to be able to have their own table during their lunch.

# data[].attributes.body
Staff singing and staff choir

# data[].attributes.body
T & l time allocated to team building - table tennis was fun

# data[].attributes.body
If there could be a rota of a teacher off each week during year group time.

Quieter space for teachers in dining hall.

# data[].attributes.body
Mindful of t & l scheduling at pinch points

# data[].attributes.body
To be able to leave from 4/4.30pm and continue work at home if necessary would make a huge huge difference to my stress and happiness levels

# data[].attributes.body
The dining hall is not a nice experience. The decibel levels are above government recommended working levels. I sit with kids but can’t hear a word they say. I just nod when spoken to. Surely some acoustic improvements are possible.

# data[].attributes.body
We used to have better common room supplies - fruit, biscuits, decent stocks of drinks. That we have a better staffroom ordering system?
