School holiday wellbeing toolkit

During school breaks, we’re encouraging teachers and education staff to take time to rest, reset, and reconnect with life beyond the classroom.

After a demanding term or year, switching off from work can be easier said than done but it’s a vital part of protecting your wellbeing and recharging for what’s ahead.

To support you, we’ve gathered a selection of resources designed to help you unwind during any break and look after yourself. These tips can help you step back, slow down, and make space for recovery. Resources cover:

  • Why teachers need holiday recovery
  • Practical self-care ideas for any break
  • Supports for teachers and education staff wellbeing throughout the year

Download the toolkit below and share it with your team to start a conversation about mental health in your school or college.
