A headteacher’s job is a challenging one. I was even told by someone recently that we currently have the most challenging role in society.
I am not sure I agree with that, but I do know it is becoming an increasingly difficult role due to the financial and accountability pressures of the English education system.
I am in my fifth year of headship now and I feel like I am entering a phase that is beyond “newbie” but not quite “experienced”. Each year has been very different, for a variety of reasons, and I guess that is partly why I enjoy the job. It is incredibly demanding but I love it and I feel incredibly privileged to be in this position.
