Stability in Education
A practical guide for school leaders, teachers and universities: why emotional stability is the foundation of attainment, and what to do about it — written to be read in one sitting and acted on this term.
For decision-makers
Written for headteachers, trust leaders, SENDCOs and university welfare teams — clear, evidence-informed, no jargon.
Pairs with the Scan
After reading, the free EPC Scan gives you a Stability Level reading in five minutes.

The five Stability Levels
How to recognise Highly Stable through to Highly Overloaded in individuals and cohorts.
Seven strategies
Practical, low-cost moves any school can make this term — no new systems required.

Your next step
How the EPC Scan and the school framework turn the guide into a working programme.
Before the Scan
Why start with the guide?
Most schools meet EPC through the Scan. The guide gives you the reasoning first, so when you take the Scan — individually or as a cohort — the numbers already make sense.
