Headteacher of a great secondary school. Still operational and behind on paperwork.
Busy weekend in Minehead. Lovely to catch up with friends from school and still do exactly the same things as 25 years ago. Just slower and slightly quieter. We are still terrible at snooker and bang average at pool.

Listening to the Man City vs Liverpool game, @willenhalle-act.bsky.social were able to send 10 students up to the Etihad Stadium in midweek to watch a European game. Great to be able to reward some fantastic young people.

A great day of commemorating a young lad who died ten years ago. Lots of people came to mark the occasion with his mum and dad, really special.

Just year 11 in yesterday. They received their mock results in English and Maths and then we laid on masterclasses.
As SLT we met with every year 11 student and their academic mentor (parents invited too). In a school where we need to shift outcomes - this felt like a good start. #halfterm

This doesn't mean we should lower standards or downplay how important good grades are but it does mean we need more second chances and better paths for those at the left hand side of the curve.

We won under lights, which was nice.
After one hell of a week at school that was a lovely way to finish.
