As we approach the return to school, this is an authentic opportunity for leaders to reflect upon the context of agency in the schools and refocus upon ‘the change’ we want to realise.

Educators: I hope you have had the opportunity to refill your reservoirs… of energy, enthusiasm and hope. Even if you aren’t looking forward to returning, know that there are learners & colleagues who will be excited about being with you again. #nearlygotime

Maybe not a typical first week to the year for most. Two days of PLD - developing & refining across our curriculum & assessment approaches. Then right into three days of adventurous activities, on a residential with Y6 in the Brecon Beacons. Busy, exciting, purposeful. Brain & Body officially aching

ENRICHED… two days of PLD with #teamholton and then straight into three days away on residential with amazing Y6 learners and a great team. Full of hope and excitement for the year ahead.
It’s nearly 7pm on the first Friday of term for lots of us… what 1 word describes your week? I’ll go first… RELENTLESS! @tygolding.bsky.social @learnwhatyoulive.bsky.social @catrplace.bsky.social @mrwisechs.bsky.social @darcyprior.bsky.social #ukedu

Such a great way to kickstart Y6 for our learners. First morning back, straight onto the bus & off to the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) for team-building, personal challenges & a chance to consider the year ahead.

So far, so good. Day 2 of our PLD - Assessment & Progression. Really enjoyed the discussion on the functions of feedback & refinement, across the curriculum. Good provocation from Austin’s Butterfly. Today was about 4Ps - progression, portraits, profiles and portfolios. #teamholton holtonps.co.uk

A great first of 2 Professional Learning & Development days - reviewing our mission&vision, renewing our team charter, setting priorities for our culture of learning & thinking about v3.0 of our Flourish Curriculum. For me, today was about ownership, direction & hope #teamholton - How was your day?

It is important to acknowledge the risks and challenges that lay in change… but it is more important to recognise that growth and progress come from change.

Nothing changes if nothing changes… I find the way that organisational change is led, negotiated, avoided and ultimately realised to be completely fascinating. In particular, change that moves from chaos to clarity.

Good luck to everyone returning to school tomorrow… remember to be deliberate in your dialogue, choose slowness over haste, lead with questions over providing answers, and take time to observe that which is right in front of you 😊 #bepresent

A very apt point Rob. Could your point be broadened to be said of other ‘middle tier’ roles and responsibilities too? It is clear to see where we have been guilty of bypassing experience, credibility and even capability as a response to either necessity or as a benefit of networks.
In Wales there has been a similar ‘risk’ to headship via roles at Consortia level being led by some with no headship experience & yet ‘holding to account’ headteachers in schools.
It’s not impossible for that to work, but unless you’ve sat in the seat, it’s much more difficult.

One of the most life-affirming - but not much talked about - aspects of being a teacher is hearing from your former pupils. Tonight, on the field near our house, I bumped into Josh, a student of mine in 2003. He didn’t like school much. But, gosh, we had the greatest, happiest reunion tonight.

IME, slowness in the classroom, along with the ability to take a step back from ‘coverage’ based thinking, is always a difficult one for practitioners. A culture of PL, trust & agency help to mitigate the pitfalls of ‘fast forward’ classrooms and then the responsibility sits with individuals.
As we move from the Summer Hols, where most of us have embraced slowness & having time to properly think(never to be undervalued) ~ what reflections or advice would you offer new colleagues & NQTs, on maintaining a sense of slowness, balance and purpose?
