I am sooooooo nervous. It's a big step up for her, from headteacher to lead head, and she wants it badly. I dont really care whether she gets it or not, but I know she will be very down for a while if she doesn't. Everything crossed.

Whats the difference or is it just another invented position in the public sector?

The difference is that she takes over potentially failing schools and tries to bring them up to scratch. Not easy, especially when the likelihood is that staff will be hostile and parents fed up to the back teeth.

So I was right then....lol
Surely its just a good head teacher then!
-
Yes......and no. There are lots of great headteachers around. Dedicated and hard working. But taken from their comfort zone, ie their own schools, they may find it hard to cope.
The trick is to be able to identify strengths and weaknesess very quickly and reinforce the strengths whilst developing the weaknesess. As I said, not easy, as that could involve staff dismissals.
You have to be VERY confident that you can pull it off. Self-doubt is a killer in that particular profession.

good luck to her :y :y sounds like a very difficult job

Good afternoon Peter. I wondered when you'd pipe up. ;D

She just rang. They put her through the wringer for three hours. She's not hopeful.
-
Fingers crossed mate -- you can never tell with these things.
Good luck for the result Mrs STMO :y
-
Unfortunately, I doubt whether her having to care for an elderly partner is going to help her cause much. Anyway, best of luck. :y

They've just rang her (at school, she's still there!) and said they cant make a decision tonight, will be tomorrow.. ARRRGGHH

No news is good news matey, fingers crossed for her tomorrow. :y :y :y

Fingers crossed Steve and I know where you can get a nice 3.0 Elite Estate with the pay rise ::)
-
Here's hoping she gets the job, Steve.
In a way, though, as a school governor myself, I am a bit uncertain what the new post might entail. Clearly, if she is successful, she would need the support of a good governing body. So, my question is: If she were to take over a failing school, would she be lumbered with a failing governing body, too? :-/
I'm sure she's got it all sussed though, so good luck to her (and you), in any event. :y

Thoughts with you both. :y Do'nt hold your breath waiting for me to be nice again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Disappointment, she didn't get the job. She was extra sad when I told her I'd have to say no to Elite Pete's omega now. Never mind. :)
