I’m over the moon! After a two day interview, I am going to be a headteacher from September 😀 I’ve been quiet on Twitter recently, but will be looking for all the help and support I can get as I take on this new challenge. If anyone has any great advice, please get in touch!

Visited my new school today for the first time since being appointed. My deputy and a teacher have resigned, and two have interviews this week. There was also an incident involving a police cordon and an air ambulance… welcome to headship! 🙈

I’m devastated. Tonight my Grandad passed away whilst my mum, my aunty and I held his hand. He’s battled dementia for about five years now - a cruel, cruel disease! I can’t talk about how I feel right now but needed someway of letting it out 💔 RIP Grandad.

Just talking to a friend who got the call on Wednesday for Ofsted to come in on the last two days of term! They accepted the deferral request thankfully but surely they know going into a school for the last two days before Christmas is a ridiculous idea 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MartinSLewis is there anything you can do to promote parents applying for free school meals? A lot don’t realise they’re eligible, and not only does it benefit the family, it massively benefits the school. They can even apply whilst in KS1 whilst eligible for universal FSM.

Can’t believe some of the abuse teachers are getting. The majority of teachers I know are still working and want schools to reopen, but only when it’s safe for the children and staff! This premature decision by the government has simply created divisions and uncertainty!
