South Lincs Primary SBM and COO for MAT. Poor work/life balancer but getting better at it. Eternal optimist...All views my own, no one else would admit to them.
@sbl365 I can't think of any other profession or workforce that is defined by what it DOESN'T do. Nurses are not called non-doctoring!
Teaching children is the engine that drives schools, but without support staff, that engine will fail.
@Learnfrommymis @SLister15 School Business manager. But it's not the acronym people don't get. Many people inside and out of education don't understand what the role actually entails.
Any schools on here that have converted to air source heat pumps? I'm interested in cost savings and heating capacity particularly in older (Victorian) buildings with no solar PV. #airsourceheatpumps
@nsandihelp Why is your website so completely rubbish? Been trying to log in for days and it says there's a technical error, when using my mobile. On laptop, it takes me to reset password screen then times out. Half an hour wait to speak to someone on the phone. Not acceptable π‘
Trusts, what staff counselling and support offer do you have in place? We used to have EAP through L&G but can't use this any longer. It's definitely something we need to replace, especially in current climate. #sbm#sbl
@LeighAnneSBM I can relate. Just do what you can. I always prioritise work based on:

2 Will someone go to prison?
3. Will it end up costing loads of money?
It's worked for me so far π
