Carole Black, an assistant headteacher at Dr Challoner’s Grammar School in Amersham, has received the award from mental health charity Mind as part of its Workplace Wellbeing Index programme.
The Index is a benchmark of best practice that aims to celebrate good work being undertaken by employers while also offering recommendations and guidance for further improvement.
Ms Black started teaching maths at Dr Challoner’s 14 years ago and became assistant headteacher in 2013.
Since then she has rolled out a number of initiatives to support staff and student wellbeing, ranging from staff yoga and tennis tournaments to a major review of workload involving staff discussion groups and surveys.
