The Multi‑Academy Trust edition of Education Mutual’s School Business Leader Wellbeing Index 2026 is available to download, print and share.
Now in its second year, the MAT-specific edition builds on the 2025 report and provides a valuable comparison of how pressures and priorities within the sector have evolved over the past 12 months. This years edition also offers updated insights into the wellbeing, pressures, and everyday experiences of School Business Leaders. The findings highlight the key challenges facing the SBL community, including excessive workload, funding constraints, and increasing demands around a lack of SEND provision.
Despite these challenges, the research also reflects the resilience and commitment of the SBL community, as well as the critical role key organisations play in amplifying the SBL voice.
We encourage you to explore the new report and share it within your networks to help raise awareness and spark positive conversations about SBL wellbeing.
