Supporting Schools

to genuinely thrive.

Trusted partnerships with schools, leaders, and educators

Rethinking How School Function

The way schools are currently designed is no longer sustainable, and we’re seeing this across every layer of the system, from teacher retention and staff wellbeing, through to student engagement and learning outcomes.

What most schools are missing is this: improving the conditions for staff isn’t just about staff. When teachers feel supported, clear in their roles, and able to do their job well, students learn better. Staff wellbeing and student outcomes are the same conversation, they’ve just rarely been treated that way.

Amy Green has spent years working directly with educators, and through over 1000 face-to-face conversations with teachers and school leaders, through her Culture Read process what she hears consistently is the same: staff want clarity, reduced workload, consistent and confident leadership, and the space to actually do their job well. Her books Teacher Wellbeing and Wellbeing Leadership underpin everything she brings to this work, grounding it in both research and the reality educators are living.

the challenge

It is not a lack of care.

It is a lack of clear strategy.

  • Morning teas and appreciation weeks rarely address the deeper systems thatimpact staff stress.

  • Short-term initiatives create moments of connection but not lasting structural change.

  • Leadership teams need practical tools and frameworks, not more programs to manage

  • Genuine improvement requires staff voice, strategic clarity and embedded practice.

"Real change requires clear strategy, strong systems, thoughtful leadership, and an approach to wellbeing that moves beyond surface-level initiatives."

  • Workload doesn't reduce by accident, it reduces when systems, roles and expectations are made clear.

  • When middle leaders lack clarity on their role, the pressure doesn't disappear, it just lands on everyone else.

  • A culture of wellbeing isn't built in a staff meeting, it's built into how the school is designed to function every day.

  • Schools can't retain great teachers by offering perks, they retain them by building environments where doing the job well is actually possible.

Ways To Work With Amy

Multiple pathways.

One focus.

Designed for you

Speaking and Workshops

Every school is different. The challenges your staff are navigating, the culture you’re trying to build, the leaders you’re trying to develop, none of that is generic, and neither is what Amy brings. Whether it’s a keynote for your whole staff, a targeted PD session, or a workshop designed around a specific focus area, everything is built for your context and your people.

The Culture Audit

Before you can change the culture of a school, you need to know what you’re actually working with. The Culture Audit is a structured process designed to surface what helps your people feel, work, team and lead well, and what’s getting in the way. Amy goes beneath the surface to capture qualitative data across your staff, through small discussion groups. You'll get a comprehensive report with clear themes, recommendations, and engage in a leadership unpack to work through what it means and to co-design your action plan. For schools ready to stop guessing and start designing.

Consultancy and Advisory

Some schools need more than a single session or a snapshot. They need someone who can sit alongside leadership over time, help make sense of the data, and work through the things that genuinely shift how a school operates. Working with Amy usuallly starts with a Culture Read and can include leadership development, middle leadership clarity, curriculum alignment, team structure, process and policy design, staff wellbeing framework creation. We focus on what the data says needs attention most.

Curriculum Clarity

When teachers are unclear on what’s expected, when planning sessions lack consistency or structure, or when the school’s pedagogical model exists in a document nobody uses, the impact lands directly on staff wellbeing. Cognitive load increases, workload feels unmanageable, and the sense of doing your job well becomes harder to find.

Working with Amy in this space means getting unpacking the curriculum structures your school already has and ensuring they are clear, consistnet and manageable. Whether that's reviewing your pedagogical framework and instructional playbook to make sure what exists on paper is actually planned for and happening in classrooms, building planning documentation that actually reduces workload rather than adding to it, or working with leaders and teams to get clarity on what good looks like.

the approach

Staff wellbeing that is designed, not defaulted.

Most schools don't lack commitment to staff wellbeing, they lack the structure and strategy to make it last. Amy works alongside school leadership teams to build wellbeing into the infrastructure of how a school operates, not layered on top of everything else. She works from your data, designs your strategy with you, and guides you along the way. She knows very school is different, and that the works has to be built around what you actually needs.
