It’s hard to believe, but Education Mutual’s School Business Leader Wellbeing Index 2026 is fast approaching. As we prepare for the next edition of our annual research, we’re calling on the essential voices of the education workforce to once again shape the understanding of wellbeing in the sector. This isn’t just another survey—it’s your opportunity to help spark change.

Whether you’re a School Business Leader, CEO, CFO, Operations or Finance Manager, Facilities Manager, Administrative staff or HR professional, we’d love to hear your honest views on the current state of your mental health and wellbeing in your working role. The pressures and challenges you face are real, and your contribution will help build a clearer, more compassionate picture of working life within England and Wales’ education system.

The survey goes live on Wednesday 17th September at 11am and will remain open until 11pm on Friday 10th October 2025. Whether you’re part of a maintained school, a single-academy trust or a multi-academy trust —your voice matters.
