Headteacher (hysterical at times)

@Brummie_HT Well that’s made me want to go and read it now too, thanks!!

@nourishworkplce @Headteacherchat I do a well- being survey in summer. This is to find out about other more generic things such as approachability of SLT. Impact of parents on mental health, teamwork etc.

What question would you love your headteacher to ask you in anonymous questionnaire? @Headteacherchat

[The Hysterical Head @HeadHysterical]

I urge NASUWT members to think about who they are impacting on as they make their demands. It’s certainly not the DFE and it certainly adds a huge amount of workload for senior leaders in your schools.

I’m knackered…. Already!

@Brummie_HT @Shahana_tpc @MrsLPlant @IKEAUK @IKEAUK go on! The kids would love the flat pack building!

The worrying thing about RAAC is that headteachers with mostly zero building structural knowledge have been asked to inspect all aspects of their school building and then report if RAAC is present. It’s a disaster waiting to happen!

@Brummie_HT The one job where you are not paid to actually work no wonder people are leaving in their droves. By the look of some comments public perception is something else. Good luck to education in the years to come!

@j_marieeee_ @UKChange Get a grip!!

And I’ll go to bat for my team everyday even if that means months and months of harassment from a parent so they don’t have to. This is appalling. @educationgovuk @NAHTnews

THE CALL

Imagine having a really important interview that you’ve prepared years for and you badly want to ace. You’ve worked as hard as you could and have committed your life to it.

Imagine every night going to bed, wondering if it’ll be the next day. But it doesn’t come that next day, the next month or even the next year. The pressure builds and you start to jump when the phone goes between 10am-12pm every day, ready to drop everything for the interview to start.

Imagine knowing that when it finally does come that there’s a good chunk of luck involved and it’ll depend on who interviews you on that day and what they happen to focus on and see.

Imagine praying for one of the good interviewers but you end up with one of the bad ones, who doesn’t listen and has their own agenda but there’s nothing you can do about it.

Imagine it leaves you in pieces and everyone know it’s not fair, but, so be it, and all that will now come your way.

Imagine knowing that that you can’t tell anyone the outcome of the interview, and you have to carry that around, on your own, for what feels like forever.

Imagine what that does to a person.

Imagine a better way.
