About Us

Hi, The High Performance Teacher is a groundbreaking CPD podcast created by the High Performance Foundation to help teachers build wellbeing, resilience, and sustainable high performance in one of the most demanding professions in the world.

Designed specifically for educators, this podcast supports teachers not just to cope with the pressures of the job — but to thrive, stay well, and perform at their best over the long term.

In a profession facing unprecedented challenges around workload, burnout, recruitment and retention, The High Performance Teacher offers something radically different: practical, evidence-informed insight from the world of elite performance, translated directly into the reality of school life.

The High Performance Foundation was born from the High Performance Podcast.

In 2020, Jake Humphrey and Professor Damian Hughes started the High Performance Podcast, interviewing the planet’s highest performers to turn their lived experiences into life lessons.

Through our High Performance community, we identified a need to provide teachers with the tools and skills they need to support them so they can thrive, not just survive in the profession. 

The High Performance Foundation is an independent charity, supported and powered by High Performance and it’s growing community.
