Well I finally got to do the main job which is not a bad achievement as I look at my starting position. My first job was working in a dairy delivering milk. Little did I know I would eventually have the bottle to lead a school. I like having my own office, it is the sign of being successful at what you do. Famous other people who had their own office, Neil Kinnock, Robert Maxwell, John Major and David Brent. Oh ok not such a good list after all.The job is quite different from teaching and I often think it would be better to be called Head Administrator as these days the teaching side is limited.
I often get calls asking to speak to the Head Teacher and it takes me a while to recognise that the person they are looking for is me. I told a friend back in Liverpool about my new job. His response was to go silent and then say 'That Andy Carroll is crap isn't he'. So my achievements, like most people in this life, only mean something to the achiever, the achieveless aren't really that bothered.
However this job is not for ever and then I have to think of my next move. As I can't retire until I am 107 I better be sure I love this Headteaching job or it could be a long stint. Anyway I am off to a planning and budget meeting. Who said Head Teachers couldn't be sexy.
