Why Well-Being Is Important at The Radclyffe School
The Radclyffe School aspires to be an ‘employer of choice’. Our aim is to support each and every member of staff to enable them to work together for excellence and to foster a working environment that protects their physical and mental wellbeing. We believe all staff need time in their lives outside work, with their families and with their other interests, and to ensure they make time to sleep, eat and exercise properly. Our approach is to secure the best circumstances for our staff and our students as we believe this is the hallmark of a school that is on a journey to be ‘beyond outstanding’.
