Let's make a start!

It's the six weeks holiday and instead of making plans for the September INSET and the next academic year I am making a start on my own business.

I have enjoyed my time as a primary school headteacher but now start the next phase of my journey. From September 19, I will take up the post of English Hub leader for Flying High Trust. This is a part-time post and will free up some time for me to support others.

Starting out in headship is hard and for some new heads it can be a lonely experience. I want to provide a possible solution to this and work alongside them to help success develop.

There are so many impressive leaders out there who take the plunge into headship and I want to be there for them.

I am also available to other leaders who work in school too. Those reflective practitioners know where there are areas to improve and I want to be there to support them with this.

My relaxed approach with a supportive blend of humour could be just what leaders need.
