What should leaders protect first this term? (SAMPLE)

If you had to protect one thing this term, what would it be?

X · n = 184 · 18 January 2026

  • Curriculum and subject time22% (41)
  • Behaviour routines21% (38)
  • Staff workload and wellbeing14% (26)

SAMPLE POLL — Figures are placeholder collated responses for the Edroom proof of concept. They are not live research findings.

Leaders on X leaned towards protecting attendance follow-up when forced to choose one priority. Curriculum time and behaviour routines split the middle of the field; staff workload was the least-selected first choice in this wave.

Treat this as a snapshot of who answered on X, not as a national sample. A later newsletter wave should be appended as a new result rather than overwriting these counts.
