My Blog

Those of you that are regulars will have noticed that it has been quite some time since I last posted a blog entry.

Circumstances at school have significantly increased the pressure on my time and as the title of this blog suggests we have been forced into a redundancy situation. I say forced because that is just what it has been.

As an inexperienced head I am very careful not to take risks outside of my areas of expertise, redundancy is just such a case. I have never been through this process and when you consider that if I take HR advice and things go wrong, they pick up the bill. If I choose not to take HR advice and things go wrong, I (the school) pick up the bill. It is a bit of a no brainer really.

This however, does not stop everyone thinking that you (me) are the perpetrator of all evil and as such have engineered this situation to remove undesirable staff.

I know, I am not paid to be popular but when everyone is pointing the finger it is really not a great place to be.

I really hope that not too many others are in the same situation, but if you are then my thoughts are with you.
