Do not underestimate the power of teacher agency. As a leader, I want teachers to be able to make decisions for themselves. They know what they are doing - let them get on with it.

I want our students to do well academically. Equally, I want them to love coming to school and to develop a lifelong love of learning.

Wellbeing in schools comes from being valued, included, listened to and developed. Not from cakes on a Friday morning in the staff room.

We make a commitment to ensure every member of staff has opportunities to coach and be coached. The most powerful way to build learning capacity through the school.

Supporting the wellbeing and mental health of the staff team is the best way to support the wellbeing and mental health of the students in schools.

My grandfather was illiterate - never went to school. From the age of 4, he would take me to the local library every 3 weeks to choose 7 books. As educators, one of the greatest gifts we can give our students is a love of reading!

We have a strong Rights Respecting culture at our schools. If a student needs to go to the toilet during the lesson, we respect their right to do so.

My first Head Teacher told me that the first day of her retirement was the best night of sleep she had experienced in over twenty years.

The job of a school leader is to enable every member of staff feel valued, included and listened to - never judged. Give them the space and time to make mistakes, learn and develop.

Looking forward to going back to school next week. When you feel part of a team and everyone genuinely supports each other, it makes such a difference.
