HAVE A GREAT HALF-TERM!

Despite the fact that we all live in a world of constant change, of constant criticism, negativity, reviews and inspections, I am blessed to work with some amazing people. We need to think team, be positive and we all need to wear the t-shirt....

I have had another half-term working with great colleagues in Sheffield and it's easy to forget within this national culture of criticism, failure and negativity, that wherever you really look, colleagues are doing the BRILLIANT, the EXCEPTIONAL and the DIFFERENT... so much of what I see in schools has been innovative, creative and simply wonderful. Remember to think about the special things you and your colleagues have achieved... examples where you have helped release the magic and created that WOW factor! Make a list over half-term and then pin it on the wall to remind you through the dark times that working in schools with young people is simply fantastic.
