The Square Pegs Education UK was established in September 2019 by Lizzy Swan to provide support to schools and their staff with mental health and well-being.

Through coaching and training we aim to remove the stigma from talking about mental health at work to help schools retain their best staff and teachers to sustain their well-being.

Our Director, Lizzy Swan, has 18 years experience of teaching in schools and 12 years at senior leadership level across a range of sectors including mainstream and special schools. Lizzy provides teachers and leaders with strategies and tools to support well-being and improve outcomes in school. We support staff and leaders with ‘difficult conversations’, managing workload, behaviour management, and setting healthy boundaries to avoid ‘burnout’. Lizzy’s coaching and training is embedded within the principles of positive psychology to enable all staff to flourish and be happy at work and in life.

We have been published in ‘The Secondary Curriculum Leaders Handbook’ edited by Roy Blatchford and published by John Catt Educational.
