Working in a school means that we are often operating on different timescales and cycles to other people. Right now I am spending much of my time in detailed planning for 2013/14. The year 7 admissions round is complete and we are busy working through all the staffing schedules for the next academic year.
Of course there is still time for staff to announce their retirement, or that they are moving to another job, wish to reduce their hours, or are planning maternity leave – but in theory we are already planning next year’s timetable.
The school calendar is also being drawn up for the new year – we are negotiating when the major school drama productions will be, which dates concerts will be on, where we will fit in all the parents’ evenings, visiting speakers and such like.
