It’s Down to Me

If the school has been successful, it is down to me as Head

If the school is failing, it is down to me as Head

If we accept that we are judged by our SATs results, I prefer other criteria, then at the Fulbridge Academy we have had almost 10 years of high level success.

Having taken the option to retire last year, the time was undoubtedly right, especially when I considered the ‘bigger picture’ of what was best for the school, staff and pupils. My son has taken over and he will take the school on to even greater achievements. I would not have had the ability to lead the school into this rapidly changing educational world so effectively.

So many factors have led to the schools success. However essentially, primarily, it was down to me as the leader of the school. I would like to take full credit for it all. Of course it is not as simple as that – or is it?

Dawn of a new Educational Age

We are currently engaged in the biggest changes in education that there have ever been. Do not get me wrong I am very excited about the future of education in a school led system. But I am also very worried.
