Everything is Going to be Alright - a 28 year retrospective
Online
See publication'Everything is going to be alright'. This is a title that derives from my journey to school as an NQT living in Hackney. Everyday I cycled past a derelict building that had this written in Neon across the top of its pediment. I later learned that this building had been bombed in the war and that it was previously the home of Dr Barnardo's and the Salvation Army. It's a beautiful and reassuring statement that holds true, particularly when the circumstances may appear unfavourable.

I hope that you like these short stories. I have taken my experiences and wrapped them up carefully and respectfully by not including accurate personal references. I've also altered minor details and included imagery that paints a picture. As a Headteacher, or in any other position in school, I never used social media or the internet to discuss my experiences. It never really crossed my mind because everything seemed so personal, and so the stories stacked up. When I look at how my narratives evolve, it always seems to be presented as a frank reality. With the nature of my own school experiences combined with my career I can understand why, but they are also stories of joy, success and relationships. There is nothing that I feel more proud about than creating sincere relationships with children and families so that they can learn, succeed and be healthy. -
