September can be a challenging month as a Headteacher/SLT, especially for those who are new in post. I’m in my 11th year of Headship and still think it’s the best job in the world - but so challenging! , I am always here to listen, if anyone needs a sounding board. No judgement

CiN: my excuse to dress as a giraffe. For a whole day, I spent it in classes, with children. No observations, no judgement, no expectations. And ‘not surprisingly’ I learnt so much. Maybe everyday should be a giraffe day!

@CensoredHead @JigsawPSHE It’s an amazing scheme where mindfulness, self appreciation and the RSE is whole school. I’ve been using it for three years now and the children also love it. Have fun!

@thosethatcan Lottery. We also are still doing the Xmas card designs this year - slightly different due to Covid but this usually is a good fund raiser
