Very windy but a beautiful Autumnal walk. 8.5k with a stop in the middle for coffee & a pastry! Perfect!

End of Wk 1 of 3rd year as HT. For me, I can't imagine not caring about the staff, children & families in my school community... but making sure the busy-ness of school life doesn't get in the way of showing that care sometimes needs to be more of a conscious choice. Happy w/e π₯

A new school year begins tomorrow. A new year brings new opportunities, a chance to refocus & to set new directions. It's exciting, but also daunting. There will be challenges as well as successes. But it will be ok, more than ok, I hope!
I hope it will be OK for you too ππ»

Only just discovered it is #NationalGriefAwarenessDay
A reminder that grief takes many forms, is not always related to the loss of a person (or animal), has no defined timeline and can look and feel different at different times. Be kind to yourself β€οΈ

Impulsive purchase at Camden Market turned into a little project. Frames for our vision and values. Lettering finished today. Last task - to attack my office wall with picture hooks and a hammer. What could possibly go wrong?!

Agree. Of course being a Headteacher is demanding and there can be some really tricky times, but it's too easy to fall into the negative. I love my job and am proud to lead my school community π
With countless βEdu-Influencersβ posting doom-laden content about the hardships of Headteachering, those of us who love this job must post a more positive counter-narrative. Or soon theyβll be no Headteachers leftβ¦ amzn.eu/d/0gjGjCAM
