Clemmie Stewart - A rainbow in the storm

In this week's episode, I interview Clemmie Stewart who I am sure you will love listening to!  I first encountered her when I followed her on Twitter as I found her tweets so positive and uplifting.  Clemmie has the privilege of being Senior Head of Prep Schools at Surbiton High School, 500 pupils across two Prep Schools in South West London. Prior to that she spent 4 years in a State Junior School, being part of the team who took the school from Special Measures to Good with Outstanding. Over ten years in the world of education, working across all sectors, has given Clemmie a great insight into the best leadership, pedagogy and approaches when delivering a world class education in the Primary years. Further to this, she is also on the governing body at two primary schools. The energy of this woman knows no bounds! Skilled in Coaching, Classroom Management, Curriculum Development, Staff Development, and Educational Leadership, Clemmie has a BA (Hons) English and Education Studies. Outside of her role at Surbiton High School, Clemmie is a prolific tweeter, often collaborating with many well-regarded educationalists across the country. A recent project is the Podcast Clem and Em that she co-hosts with Dr Emma Kell.  Along with her Principal, Rebecca Glover, Clemmie recently delivered a TedX talk, entitled ‘Do Snowplough Parents Remove Essential Grit’?

The wellbeing of staff in schools has never been more important. With almost a third of new staff leaving the profession after just five years and 26% of teachers saying they are thinking of leaving in the next 12 months (National Foundation for Educational Research), we are facing a teacher retention crisis. The We Lead Well Podcast has been created in response to this crisis, to encourage and support schools to create places where people love to work. We support leaders to enhance the wellbeing of all staff in schools. Each week, leading educationalists share their experience, views and tips on how other school leaders can promote wellbeing in their organisations for the benefit of all staff.
