‘Stressed and overworked’: School leaders reveal how the job is taking its toll on their mental health

Nearly one in two (45 per cent) school leaders needed mental health support last year, a new survey has found.

A poll by the school leaders’ union NAHT also found almost three in four (72 per cent) leaders said their job had affected their mental health for the worse in the past year – up from 65 per cent last year.
