Head teachers are more concerned with pupils’ mental health than any other issue related to well-being, a survey of 1,180 school leaders suggests.
Two-thirds of head teachers polled for management support service, The Key, named mental health as the top concern.
Domestic violence and cyberbullying were the next biggest concerns, named by 58% and 55% of heads respectively.
Brian Lightman, leader of the ASCL heads’ union, said it was difficult for heads to obtain support for pupils.
