Kate Bush fan. Not in to running up hills but like a steady walk. Work in Children & Family Social Care. Samaritan.
Just a thanks to @jimmyviz.bsky.social for the #AlbumAlmanac #WeekendSingles fun. It’s been a real switch off that I needed. I lost my Dad and am currently trying to arrange his funeral and eulogy so it’s been a distraction I needed. Last compilations from me are Dad’s albums. Love you Dad. ❤️

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Friday (it is Friday isn’t it) ?

My Christmas Day was spent volunteering at Samaritans with a post shift curry

Very alternative to the traditional Christmas dinner but hugely enjoyable

It can be tough for lots of young people (adults too).
December can be tough for kids in care & Alternative Provision schools.
The focus on 'family' and festive routines can highlight what’s missing for them. Let’s lead with compassion & understanding.

Some days are a bit like this, while attempting to juggle, hold a sensitive conversation, get your head around finance, clean up sick and think about the quality of education too.

Look after yourselves. Be kind to yourself. Take five minutes. If all else fails, eat biscuits.

Fantastic day at our Pride in Practice Event at the King Power stadium
celebrating men working in Social Care and our Outstanding rating from Ofsted earlier this year.
And lunch was provided - a rarity these days!

My advice to you all today would be…

Don’t take your fridge/freezer for granted

Mine has broken and it’s a pain

So discussing best Christmas films

Favourites anyone?

A year ago I thought I wanted to leave education.

This year, I’ve loved. I am not 100% sure what has changed. Is it my attitude, the attitude of those around us, something else?

Anyway. I’m glad I’m a headteacher.

I work for a Local Authority in this field and specialise in Healthy Relationships and Domestic Abuse particularly Children in Care and Care Leavers

Had one of those Teams meetings today where “Waiting for others to join” popped up.

Ready with the small talk for the next attendee only to realise after 10 minutes the meeting had been cancelled
