Deputy Principal 👩💻. Loves books 📚, travel 🌍, the outdoors 🏕️. Mum to one basketball 🏀 and golf 🏌🏼 obsessed boy.
Day 1 of arriving in the dark and leaving in the dark completed. 34 more to go before Christmas!
A walk up Coombe Hill with the school dog. As we reached the top the clouds descended and the described stunning view of the Chiltern Escarpment is still but a mystery!
Our school dog is proving as good for staff wellbeing as she is for supporting the children!
Year 6 residential. The boys are performing a spider ritual before bed. 🕷️ 🕷️🕷️🕷️
Fuel to help with today’s task. Helping my wife find an outfit for our niece’s wedding. She hates shopping. She really hates clothes shopping. Wish us luck!
A fitting scented candle for this evening… He claims he has cleaned today; we are unsure of which minuscule part of his bedroom he is referring to!
New DMs for a new academic year and no blisters after day one!
2 down, 193 to go! (I do love my job really 😉 but today was a bit of a day!)
An early start to beat the rain; a fabulous walk in the Surrey hills.
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
This is what I’m trying to tell myself as I walk around school looking at 3 half finished building jobs. 😬
It has really been a day of emotions. Awaiting GCSE results for my boy 🤢 Our boy sharing his GCSE results with us 🥰 Bad news on my Dad’s cancer 😢 Dropping my boy off at Reading festival 😬
A trip to @nationalarchives.gov.uk.web.brid.gy to see the MI5 exhibition. Really interesting - would highly recommend.

A lovely afternoon with two of the best colleagues I’ve ever had to celebrate a retirement. #endofanera #ladiesthatlunch
Finishing off our holiday in Greece with a stunning full moon (the photo doesn’t really capture its full beauty).
Our son has described us (his parents) as being in a civilised partnership to someone we have met on holiday and we will now call it this for evermore! 💕
The children are out, just an INSET tomorrow and we will be done!
Anyone remember the poem ‘dog in the playground’ from Please Mrs Butler? That happened in our school today at lunchtime! As lockdown was called, I couldn’t help but recite this in my mind!
Tomorrow, I have a wellbeing day so I’m currently in South End on Sea for the night with my boy who turns 16 tomorrow. #feellikeimskiving
@headteacherchat.bsky.social has kept me organised this year. Just received my new planner for the same again next year!
Mammouth working day today. First set of reports complete ✅
