Half Term

Half term starts and with a bank holiday it is almost bound to be bad weather. I suspect that a lot of teachers won't really mind this because this is the season of marking and report writing for many!

With a bit of luck the weather won't be all bad so the challenge will be to time the work with the showers!

Thoughts on the first few weeks

After taking over as head for the term I can't believe that there is now just one week before half term. Where have the first 3 weeks gone? Quite an easy one, that. There have been endless meetings, parents with concerns to see, prospective parents to meet and show round the school. In fact the easiest thing about being head is that I don't really have to make any decisions about what to do - it all seems to be in my Outlook calendar sorted for me!

I must make a resolution in the coming week to be around the school more often. A number of staff are grumbling about boys being late for lessons and bumping into the head as they loiter will have the desired effect!
