A few shots from this morning’s walk. A gloomy start and then some real blasts of sunshine.

It’s Autumn, but only just. #Yorkshire #Holmfirth #Edusky

Time out from #NautilusHQ to breathe.

Chunks of sunlight to add drama. #Yorkshire #edusky

A Headteacher Short Story about trying to say thanks to staff, but not really knowing how best to do justice their efforts.

'We may well have mistaken meaningful recognition, for biscuits, buns and other quick hits.'

A short and timely blog.

New Post - Education Jenga!

Whilst we continue to stack curriculum content, have we prioritised quantity over quality?

A 90 second read, perfectly designed for your long-overdue tea break.

Some interesting things in the 'Environment' area re self-care.

Easy to overlook these as a #headteacher , but they can make all the difference.

Creating effective and ⏩sustainable⏪ leadership.

Tuesday afternoon.

We brought the children up here once on a day like this. 24 kids from the toughest corner of town.

Pretty sure they’ll remember that day more than the ones in the classroom.

Lovely to share a few thoughts in the latest issue of K12 Digest around 'observation'.
From my experience, pay progression, career stage and appraisal can be the bi-product of a more intuitive professional development process, not the end goal.
