Enough. It’s nearly 4 years since Ruth Perry’s death. Caversham Primary is back in the “window” for inspection. And still we have to put up with this hot air? Time is up - time for real change is here!

Always great to hear from @HYWEL_ROBERTS but more so when it’s at @WholeEducation and we’re talking about stories

Leadership is easy. Until… You have to hold someone accountable. You’re criticized for doing the right thing. You face a tough decision with no easy answer. You take the blame for a mistake you didn’t make. You lead people who don’t want to be led. You’re expected to stay calm in chaos. You sacrifice for the good of the team. Leadership isn’t about a title. It’s about showing up when it’s hard. That’s when real leaders stand out. Choose to lead.
