Mrs C

Privileged to be Headteacher of a gorgeous small school in Essex. BEd (Hons) NPQH 2022. Family first ❤

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

In Sept 2021 I joined my current school as their new Deputy Head. Four months later, and for a variety of reasons, I'm embarking on the new term as their Headteacher. I'll share our story on here as we navigate the #first100days

Scary? Yes.
Excited? Absolutely.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Teacherglitter So nice to see this sort of thing appreciated - enjoy!

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Headteacherchat No, absolutely not. Trust our professionals to be able to organise their own time. It worries me when I hear younger teachers commenting on what time so and so arrived/left though, surely we are past this now?

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Same! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@mr_rushby @MrTs_NQTs Another vote for @LanguageAngels_ they offer loads of support and CPD - and their curriculum design is spot on. Great for small schools, large schools and also mixed ages. Can't fault them.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@_MissieBee Thanks - think I'll need it! 🙈

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@mtptproject I'm a HT just about to start back after mat leave - happy to help!

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Headteacherchat This was me 2 years ago! Happy to chat!

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Headteacherchat No DHT, let alone one with a teaching responsibility. Small school so just can't justify the spend.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Leazy84 That would be amazing, thank you so much. Have sent you a dm 😊

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

Would any HTs/Senior Leaders be willing to share their School Development Plan templates with me? Mine is mind-numbingly long (20+ pages!)
There's got to be another way!

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Leazy84 That's so strange, I've just discovered Canva this evening! Which template is it you use?

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@MissJLud @mtptproject I started my NPQH whilst working, and then completed two of the modules whilst on maternity leave. Did the face to face days online. Definitely possible to do, but needed to be really organised to fit it in around my 2 children. I'm with Best Practice and they were very helpful.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@dave_mcpartlin They are essentially the same. However, independent schools are also subject to what's called a compliance visit, separate from an educational one, whereby everything to do with premises, H&S, HR, vehicle compliance etc are inspected. State schools rely on LAs for most of this.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@Headteacherchat Me! I'm on mat leave currently. Small school so no DH. It was a bit of a nightmare arranging cover but we got there in the end. Would be happy to chat.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@CPOMSUK @CensoredHead Absolutely give them a call. They answer really quickly and are so helpful each time I've phoned.

[Mrs C @MrsCoyle_HT]

@FloraSCooper @Ofstednews @Headteacherchat I really, really hope this is the start of something. Just awesome.
