Make opportunities for real learning.

'Being a deputy head is an everything job.' Being a primary deputy head, this much I know: https://t.co/B9QylvlkDN #primary #UKEDChat

It’s #NYE! Wahoo! Instead of calling it a ‘resolution’, what is your top priority to work on in Spring Term? Give one professional and one personal priority because the work/life balance is more important than ever! #primarydeputies #primaryrocks #newyearpriorities

Have a great last week everyone! Remember to make sure you eat as many chocolates and cakes as possible in the staff room to keep you going! Sometimes it’s the only way... #primarydeputies #primaryrocks #countdowntochristmas

[Andrew Byrne @musingsofmrb]

@PrimaryDeputies Don't try and do everything at once. Learn all the children's names and say hello to all staff every morning. Be visible to all members of the school community and be open and honest in communications

[Tim Head @MrHeadPrimary]

@PrimaryDeputies Don’t bring anything for lunch that could go cold...

[Alex Rawlings @MrARawlings]

@PrimaryDeputies Be confident enough to challenge the Head (privately) so that when you support him/her (publicly) you can do so with commitment and sincerity. Got to be on the same page!

[Matt Curtis @MattCurtis76]

@PrimaryDeputies Be prepared to be flexible. You might complete 10 different things during non-contact time but there's no guarantee that any of them will actually be on your to do list!

[Kate Atkin @kateatkin83]

@PrimaryDeputies Don’t worry that you never seem to get to the end of the ‘to do’ list!

[LH @lizzie_h18]

@PrimaryDeputies Have different bags to shift things from office(!), classroom and home - one for class paperwork, one for DT stuff, one for marking etc!
