I did it. He replied already 😭
Just sharing a smidgen to respect his privacy but it was a lovely, long email, and he is obviously still a wonderful person and putting a lot of effort into his current school.
So pleased I made contact ☺️

As a new Headteacher I think I’d benefit from some coaching. Coaching from someone with specific knowledge of leading schools in deprived areas and raising attainment. I’ve got through the first two terms alone but now it’s hit me. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Good conversation with Norfolk and Suffolk trust CEOs this afternoon at their network event #CEON, looking ahead and talking about developing strong trusts that can set sights high for children in the East of England. Thank you for the invite!
"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern
One week today, and I will be starting my first #headship. Not only a new position but coming back after maternity leave. Lucky to be starting the next part of this journey in the school that I know and love ❤️
If someone has a 35 year teaching career they will have taught over 26,000 lessons.
If you are just starting out, listen to experienced teachers. They may be a bit more cynical, and may have slowed down a bit from the manic pace of their 20s, but their experience is invaluable.
In 2010, 4 staff in Calums "special school" restrained him face down.
His injuries were horrendous.
He wet himself, so they forced him into a chair and stood over him with an egg timer as punishment
He doesn't want any child to suffer the way he did.

@justsendcb Personally I think it depends on need. I’ve applied for some with no length of time but lots of intervention/assessment. We try if possible to do two, which we count as two terms.
