You know when someone says “it feels like you have been here for ages” after you have only been working at a new place for a couple of weeks, this is what happened to me and I took it as a compliment. Four months on, I really feel that I am getting to know people better and understand their personalities a lot better.

“So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.”
(President Thomas S. Monson)

Having been influenced by working in education, sport and the corporate world during my professional career, I have come to understand that having a USP (Unique Selling Point) is crucial if you want to stand out from the competition. When I have asked staff in schools this question (What is your USP?), the usual answer is that they are caring, supportive and make sure the children are happy.

As my first Head Teacher Blog, I wanted to first explain how I see these working. These blogs are a little more informal than the newsletters and the correspondence we may normally have. The blogs will reflect my thoughts and opinions, some of which you may disagree with, which is fine, but they will reflect my style of doing things.
