Enjoyed facilitating NPQH through @ambitioninstitute.bsky.social yet again. Great to work with such a committed and engaged group and to have the chance to talk all things headship. Thanks to Manor TSH for having me back!

I got a new passport photo sorted today, and it was quite a sobering experience. It was about the 8th retake when I reluctantly accepted that's *actually* what I look like.

I'm heading home on Thursday. As always, I've loved my time here - big skies and a slower pace. Batteries suitably recharged; roll on the Summer Term.

Kirkwall Parkrun with my lad. He bagged a PB and was 1st for his age group. Me? I'm still proud to say I'm the FBO - Fastest Baldy in Orkney! 👟💨

This place is my bolt-hole. Time to step back, breathe, and recharge. Happy Easter, folks.

Governors are hugely underappreciated. Strong, committed governors are worth their weight in gold, and in the current climate, they're bloody needed.

Brilliant news and a massive well done to all. Thoroughly deserved; have always loved working with you guys!

It was lovely to spend the first part of the morning talking to the children about my favourite book. A Shepherd's Life by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social is beautifully written and a dear friend; I always make time to catch up each summer.

We are hosting the Brockmoor & Pensnett Showcase Event. It's lovely to put the school at the heart of the community and share what is available for children and families in the local area. We have basketball, rowing, adult education, health & wellbeing, and much, much more.

So, it's the 1st day of the half term, and I'm wide awake by 5.20am.

Last session facilitating NPQH. Enjoyed talking leadership and trying to add context to the theory.

I don't know whether I should be pleased with this or disappointed that my midlife crisis is so dull.

Lucky to be in the room and hear @marcrowland73.bsky.social and @suchmo83.bsky.social share their wisdom this morning. Two extremely useful, informative, and enjoyable sessions - many thanks!

I contacted a couple of local HTs who started the job today & added them to the WhatsApp group for our corner of Dudley. I then looked through said group; with circa 6yrs, I'm in the top 15% of longest serving HTs. Made me think - I'd love to see 'average time in post' compared to 10 or 20 yrs ago.

Middle-aged victory - the Christmas jumper still fits.

My phone is like the Ghost of Christmas Past. '7 years ago today!' he will tell me, and then show me photos of my boys from Christmases gone by - meeting Santa, the last nativity, or eagerly opening presents. And when I see them, I have a heavy feeling in my heart; a longing for moments lost.

NPQEL passed. And tonight, I shall celebrate by drinking two beers and falling asleep on the sofa. 🍻💤
