In the latest episode of the Tes International podcast, we chat to Lizzie Varley, an education adviser with Cognita Schools based in the Middle East, to hear about her organisation’s cross-school focus on student wellbeing.

She explains how this encompasses everything from staff development and helping pupils to develop a positive mindset to considering how artificial intelligence will change the world children will inhabit and preparing them for this through a wellbeing lens.

She also talks about the importance of senior leadership buy-in on wellbeing initiatives and how to balance this with pressure to deliver high academic outcomes at scale.
