Built by educators. Backed by psychology. Making work sustainable.
HumanEdge Performance was founded by a former headteacher and organisational psychologist, bringing together lived experience of school leadership with evidence-based psychological insight.
We work with schools and trusts to understand what is really driving work-related stress, burnout and pressure, and to strengthen leadership practices and cultures in ways that are realistic, sustainable and grounded in how schools actually operate.
Whether you are a headteacher, senior leader, or leading across a trust, this is a space to pause, reflect and lead differently, with greater clarity, intention and care.
Our mission is to support schools to create healthier, more sustainable working environments through psychologically informed tools, reflective practice and system-level change, rather than quick fixes or add-on initiatives.
How We Can Help
Leading in education is deeply meaningful and increasingly demanding.
You care about your staff, your pupils and the culture you are shaping. You want people to feel supported, motivated and able to do their best work. Yet when demands continue to rise and capacity is stretched, leadership can become reactive, dominated by urgency and constant firefighting, with little space to think or lead proactively.
Our work recognises that staff wellbeing cannot be separated from how work is organised, led and experienced day to day.
When leaders are under sustained pressure, the impact reaches far beyond the individual. It shapes decision-making, relationships, emotional safety and consistency across the school. Supporting staff wellbeing is not separate from pupil outcomes. It is fundamental to them.
HumanEdge Performance works alongside leaders and teams to create space for reflection, insight and meaningful change. We help schools move beyond surface-level wellbeing initiatives towards approaches that address leadership behaviour, organisational culture and the conditions people are working within.
