Mentally Healthy Schools and Partnership Working 

We were delighted to welcome Governors and senior staff from our Associated Schools and Colleges to the Mercers’ Company Governors Conference 2025, held at Mercers’ Hall on 29 April.

The event brought together a wide range of voices from across the Associated Schools and Colleges, with this year’s dual themes focused on Mentally Healthy Schools – emphasising staff wellbeing and safeguarding the wider school community and Partnership Working across schools.

The day featured stimulating presentations, thought-provoking discussions and valuable opportunities to connect and reflect on the shared challenges and opportunities facing education leaders today. We were especially pleased to welcome a number of external speakers including - Professor Anna Lise Gordon and Dr Catherine Carroll from St Mary’s University, Ms Veryan Exelby from Farrar & Co and Mr Michael Barton from the NGA, who each brought unique insights into how schools and colleges can cultivate environments that support mental health and foster effective collaboration.

We thank all attendees for contributing to such a purposeful and inspiring day.
