Diary of a headteacher: New year’s resolutions

Senior leadership
Our headteacher diarist has challenged his staff to come up with a new year’s resolution – a simple change in practice or routine that could have a big impact.

At this time of year, many people find themselves a week or so into their perennially well-intentioned new year’s resolutions. 

How many of these evolve into a genuine change in our behaviour and become a staple part of our way of life? We might find some short-term benefit from sticking to these resolutions for a month or two, but we all know that many will fall by the wayside as the frenetic pace of life takes over.

I have challenged my team of staff to pick one aspect of their job that they want to be better at and have this as their school new year’s resolution – and try and stick to it.
