The Diary of a Headteacher

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Brian, a former Headteacher and inspector, who now advises leaders on school improvement. Brian reveals the common traits of the most successful heads he’s worked with and shares his definition of ‘intelligence’.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with fellow Headteacher, Erin, who shares her early experience of school leadership and why it’s essential to bring your joy into the story you are telling.

In the final episode of Series 1, I reflect on my first half-term as a Headteacher and answer some listener questions.

In this week’s episode, I explain my new approach to prioritisation and reflect on the performance management cycle in schools

This week I share examples of some of the sorts of decisions Headteachers make each week and reveal my decision making arc.
