Hey everyone. Have had a couple of schools not renew for next year due to changes in leadership which means I have a bit of additional capacity next year. If you’re a school or trust looking for coaching support for your leaders, get in touch.

Just a friendly reminder as we near the end of term....we are all only human. Please don't forget that. Show kindness & compassion, always. #ShineOn #BurnBrighter

Headteachers - please hit me with your best methods for switching off during half term! Head is whizzing and stomach churning thinking about everything I should be doing!! Any tips gratefully received! 🙏 HeadteacherChat TheTattooedHeadteacher Deputy CEO 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾she/her Censored Head NPQEL 🙋‍♂️ 🇺🇦💛💙 Secret Headteacher

Learning occurs when children and young people feel valued, included, forgiven, and understood. Teaching is inherently a relational profession. While there may be other strategies, leaving our children with a legacy of lasting relationships is of utmost importance.

Let's take care of our headteachers! We've been hearing too many stories of headteachers reaching their breaking point. It is shocking to listen to all their stories. Let's make sure we look after them!

Calling all Headteachers/school leaders! We’re here to support you! If you have a question no matter how big/small, please ask, or feel free to privately DM. Like. Retweet. Tag. Ask. Share ideas. Smile. Comment. We will do our best to help.

Headteachers/senior leaders, permit yourself to: Don't send or answer emails during the holiday. Take breaks to stop and breathe Drink water often Eat healthily Drink your coffee whilst hot DM message if you need support. Remember you can't pour from an empty cup.

There will, as there have been in the other years, be a little application to fill out and then I'll comb over them with the help of a couple of other eyes. There are no catches. Any educational setting can apply. Watch this space. Probably around Jan 13th.

What are the things people don’t know about being a headteacher?

It is safe to say that school leaders have been working hard to provide the best for their school's community. One week to go until half term and that well deserved rest. Thank you for everything you do.

As a headteacher, sometimes you can feel overwhelmed with how much you have to do. We must remember to focus on and complete one thing. Then we have made progress. #smallsteps #headteacherchat #headteacherlife

Hats off to all headteachers. It is a challenging job at the moment: increasing attendance, managing behaviour, dealing with angry parents in a tough society, aiming for high performance, and coping with recruitment struggles. Truly remarkable.

Please don’t feel unworthy or fearful being a headteacher. Believe in your abilities and talents because you can make a big difference to alot of children’s lives. Let’s support each other

Anon post: Good evening Any other Headteachers finding this job just so tough? The pressure is relentless and my levels of anxiety are through the roof. I’m really struggling to convince myself that I am enough at the moment! Any top tips ??
