A leadership diagnostic worth thinking about: when something live broke this term & people had to drop other work, whose time was treated as protected & whose was treated as elastic?
That answer tends to reveal more about staff wellbeing than any policy does.

Everyone was protected

It varied by role

Honestly, it was elastic

An inclusive sixth form where every student is supported to grow, and the results speak for themselves.
Join us at Hampton College, Peterborough for a PiXL Open Day exploring what high-quality, inclusive sixth form provision really looks like in practice.

"The most valuable resource that all teachers have is each other." Robert John Meehan.
True for leaders too. If you've worked something out this year that others could use, find a way to share it.

If you're stuck on something, someone in the sector has very likely already solved a version of it. What's one thing you've learned this year that's worth passing on?

Your brain thinks at up to 800 words per minute. That's a LOT of chatter.
Sometimes it catastrophises, criticises, and convinces you of things that simply aren't true. Sound familiar?

Connected by @RachelPiXL calls this the "chatter-brain" and gives young people research-backed techniques to take back control: from time-travel thinking to journalling to reframing nerves as preparation.

A question for next year's planning conversation:
If a new colleague joined senior leadership tomorrow, is there parts of your school improvement plan you would find yourself explaining apologetically?

Ever said something in an argument you immediately regretted? 😬
We all fall into what Rachel Johnson calls "Argument Traps", interrupting, going silent, saying sweeping generalisations, or taking it to social media.

The good news? There's a better way. Connected gives young people a practical framework to disagree well, express feelings honestly, and repair relationships, skills that matter far beyond the classroom.

A Wildly Important Goal (WIG), as Covey defined it: the single goal that, if not achieved by year's end, would make everything else feel inconsequential.

Most leadership teams can list ten. Naming one is the hard part, that's usually where the year-ahead conversation really begins. What's the one goal that excites and challenges you in equal measure?

"Comparison is the thief of joy." Theodore Roosevelt
The twist is: not all comparison is bad.
Comparing yourself to others can help you set goals, find perspective, and discover where you shine. The problem is when comparison becomes a spiral of feeling not good enough.
