Jason Wing is principal at Neale-Wade Academy, an Active Learning Trust academy in March, Cambridgeshire. He began his career teaching PE at a school in west London, and has held positions as director of Sport, assistant head and vice principal before commencing his role as principal at Neale-Wade.
Surely being a teacher has never required a greater skill-set? We’re not just knowledgeable about our subjects, but we’re motivators, evaluators and occasional counselors. We need to teach resilience and grit alongside quadratic equations. That’s why having a good pastoral care provision in place is, in my opinion, a necessary requirement of any school. Student wellbeing should be high on any school’s agenda, as happy students lead to increased learning opportunities and improved performance.
