‘After submitting 7 applications for HT positions and attending 6 interview selection processes over the last 18 months, I have finally, today, gained a Headship for September.
I was beginning to think there wasn’t one out there but I am proof that determination, resilience and just not giving up has born fruits today.
Thank you to this group for the encouragement I have received.
To anyone out there who is feeling low,
don’t give up, it WILL happen.’

Perseverance Pays Off
Today we were inspired to write about an anonymous post in our Facebook Group, and the many messages that followed, showing us what a fantastic community we all are!
Don't Give Up!
To anyone feeling discouraged on the path to headship, this one's for you: keep the faith! The right opportunity will come along. It might take some grit, resilience, and maybe even a few battle cries, but your determination will pay off when the time is right.
The Power of Support
Our Facebook group deserves a huge shoutout! The encouragement and shared experiences have been invaluable to so many of you. It's a constant reminder that we're all in this together, navigating the twists and turns of being a school leader, and especially when times get tough. We feel very privileged to facilitate such a fantastic group.
Sometimes Patience is Key
And to those who worry about "who you know" being better than "what you know", remember, the perfect match takes time. Just like our anonymous post says, the wait can be worth it. Your ideal school, the one that aligns perfectly with your vision and leadership style, is out there.
Here's to new beginnings, amazing schools, and the incredible journeys that await us. Let's continue to support each other on this journey, as together we are stronger than ever.
