With Easter already upon us, we’re approaching the final stretch of the school year. We know the summer term is often the busiest (and longest) term with a lot to juggle and can be very stressful – roll on the summer holiday!
In this edition of the BlueSky newsletter, we wanted to offer some resources to support staff wellbeing and lighten the workload through the term.
Warm regards,
The BlueSky Team

How our schools do it
“As a manager who processes the impact of CPD, it’s been a lot easier for me. Because we have those online evaluation forms, we can actually see what is having an impact on teacher and classroom practice.”
Documenting professional development – from training requests to instructional coaching – in the BlueSky platform has not only saved Beechwood Primary School’s senior leaders hours every week, but it has given all school staff a sense of ownership and achievement.
