Woke up to a garden covered in snow and ice. Look up your estimated frost date, check your long term forecasts, and resist the urge to plant unless you have a cold frame or greenhouse and know how to use them.

Well that took a sharp turn! RIP to poor premature veggie seedlings newbie gardeners in my local #gardening groups who fell for False Spring planted out and are wanting to know how to save them this morning. Practice makes perfect.

Lessons in Senior Leadership I will freely admit that senior leadership was not in my plan. My ideal role was a Teaching & Learning lead — without the wider responsibilities of SLT. Having three young children has meant I have often shied away from that bigger step. But in September, circumstances shifted, and for the first time I felt ready to apply. The opportunity to continue working with Teaching & Learning while leading it across the whole school was too good to pass up.

Six weeks into senior leadership and one thing is clear: the role is less about having answers and more about holding complexity. I’ve written about the challenges, the learning curve, and what I’m discovering along the way.
