First full week as a DSL (and Head of PE, Head of House and PSHE Resource Creator)...
A thread through my lense.
1. Spinning plates with suspected ADHD is not fun.
This morning, I opened my laptop to yesterdays incomplete tasks. 34 tabs open on window 1, 21 tabs open on window

So today it was announced that I have been given the opportunity of an SLT Secondment with the Role of DSL.
Getting the chance to experience senior leadership is so exciting and a goal I've been chasing for the last 2 years. However, Safeguarding Leads.. you are different!🫶🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

Setbacks of my ACL injury and the demands of my job have derailed tomorrow's target of 60% quad symmetry. Running in January seems impossible. The mental struggle is grinding me down. It's hard when a smile hides the turmoil. #InjuryStruggles #NoBlance #EduPE

Really insightful day.
Today I did my first visit as a governor. APs really do not get the kudos they deserve. So many moving parts to be accounted for; a forever revolving door of admissions, some of the must vulnerable young people and all the same pressures as mainstream 🙌🏽👏🏽

Absolutely shattered. But I have not enjoyed my job like I am right now in a long time. 2 week half term and looking forward to Aut 2.
When you love what you do, you never work a day in you life!

It's been a long time coming, but think I've finally found a school where I feel at home. Good people, all pulling in the same direction, where you are seen, appreciated and supported to do your job.
Here's to challenge of balancing HoH and HoD! Ready for it - love it so far ❤️

@ACLrecoveryCLUB
Can you or any followers recommend an ACL rehab specialist based in or near London, UK.
I'm at my wits end.

The most demotivated and disengaged I've ever felt since working in education.
Is it the school? Is it the job? Is it me?
This has been growing over the past 12 months and being 14months into an ACL injury awaiting a 3rd surgery does not help.
Any suggestions or advice?

Need some views from experienced staff.
1. What's most important in PE?
H&S, Safeguarding or T&L (all that comes with it)
2. Safe environment w/o great T&L?
3. 'Outstanding' T&L without H&S?

Unbelievable event for our pupils!
Thank you so much for the inspiration - they thoroughly enjoyed it!
An all-girls basketball session, on International Women’s Day with 40+ girls… we love to see it! 🏀❤️📈
@CityAcadHackney, it was great to work with you! 🤝

Hopefully this will help reduced the equity gap we see for female players coming from disadvantaged backgrounds and enable more raw talent to access the right environments to thrive! englandfootball.com/articles…

My first HT I have made the conscious effort to not work. Even today, knowing I'm not fully prepared for my lessons tomorrow, I refrained. I spent time with family instead. Now sat watching HMT with tub of Ben and Jerry's!
Tomorrow can wait!
