Not the ideal timing but there's some changes in my work and I'm being interviewed for Acting Depute Headteacher first thing on Monday morning.
Practically every week when I visited on a Friday we'd do this thing where she'd ask how work was followed by - "are you headteacher yet?" My response would be - "not yet but I'm getting closer"
I've never actually had any great aspirations to be HT, my career has just kind of worked out to where I am in leadership (I think you US weirdos call it faculty or administration?
I'm not expecting to land it but if I do it would have been nice to tell her I'm still not HT but I'm only one down the chain.
Anyways even though I've been pragmatic and looking on the bright side of things, once again thanks for all the kind words, PMs, prayers and thoughts it has meant a lot in a difficult time for us all.
