OfSTED Eleven
I was part of 11 Ofsted inspections last year. At one point in the year, they were happening every fortnight. In fact, I think we covered every possible inspection type from short ungraded inspections to new school inspections, to monitoring visits, to full graded inspections.
Lessons from" The Bees"
September 2024 marks 30 years of teaching for me! Not quite ready for retirement yet but it marks a significant moment and warrants some reflection.
I have spent much of my summer reflecting on those 30 years and of course reading – my other passion. One of my favourite reads recently has been “The Bees” by Laline Paull.
More leadership lessons...
I have read many books, listened to podcasts, read multiple blogs and enjoyed many keynote speakers but the best leadership advice for me came from an unlikely source – Ted Lasso.
Still more leadership lessons . . .
As you know, leadership comes in many forms, and leadership lessons can come from many different places. But few experiences compare to the lessons learned from rugby. Here are some powerful leadership lessons from rugby that every school leader can apply when creating teams that flourish.
New Beginnings
The prospect of redundancy has been scary! Yes – I am worried about financial instability, loss of my identity, fear of change and the impact on my family.
But I am also so excited!
This is an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to develop new skills, the prospect of finding better work-life balance and a chance for a new journey in education.
Resolutions for Inspiration and Well Being
As we welcome the new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future. For many, the start of the year brings a renewed sense of motivation and the opportunity to set new goals. New Year’s resolutions can serve as powerful tools to inspire change, improve habits, and create lasting impact. Whether you’re focusing on personal growth, fitness, or expanding your knowledge, resolutions can help guide you toward the best version of yourself.
Leadership Lessons from the London Tube Map
Effective educational leadership is crucial to fostering an environment where pupils, teachers, and the entire school community can thrive. However, much like navigating a complex city, leading an educational institution can often feel like trying to decode a labyrinth of challenges, decisions, and competing priorities.
