Always in the mood to dance 💃 ~ Mum to a gorgeous girl ~ Wife to a very understanding man ~ Head of School ~ Primary ~ Passionate about developing others ~ Derby
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be updating my bio in September to move from Head of School to Headteacher! A new school and a new Trust for me so is all very exciting! 😊
I’ll certainly miss Transform but know that the learning, growth and relationships I’ve built will stand the test of time. 🦋

Does anyone know of any schools and or research/blogs into KS2 continuous provision? I was really inspired by some Early Years INSET yesterday and it’s got my brain ticking! #EYFS #continuousprovision #KS2

Simply *repost* this post for your chance to win.
I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

Word of the day, for the umpteenth time, is ‘apricate’, the sister of ‘apricity’. It means to bask in the warmth of the sun, especially on a chilly day.

I still can’t believe that Minah is out and Charlotte has brought FREDDIE (?!?!) in! He was a fool to say yes and should have stuck to his guns in turning it down. Equally think he could turn on her too #TheTraitorsUK

My feet didn’t touch the ground today! It’s amazing how much ‘switching’ I can do as HofS in a day. Would people say that the ability to ‘switch’ is a key skill to develop in preparing for leadership? It’s always commented on by people outside of senior leadership - ‘I don’t know how you do it’

Thought of the day… I have Thursdays as my non-working day which some people have found strange but today I have genuinely switched off as I feel that everything can wait one working day. #parttime #workingmum

Current downside of re-finding actual content again is that I now need to actually read the amazing blogs that are coming up! I didn’t realise how much I was just scrolling instead of engaging. I’ll have to rethink the time and space I have for BlueSky 😆

Coming to see if I can reignite my enthusiasm for social media connection on BlueSky! I’ve already found it fascinating by finding followers - so many of them I’ve forgotten about as X doesn’t show me anything from them on my timeline! Welcome back, I’m looking forward to being inspired again 😊
