Are you a new head of year this term?
The role of head of year is possibly one of the most challenging and emotionally draining roles within a school. You are a teacher, unofficial counsellor, mentor, social worker, family support worker, behaviour analyst, example setter, trainer, staff coach and troubleshooter.
You balance your classroom commitments with a never-ending barrage of barriers to break down to ensure your cohort gets a fair chance at a good education. What else? Plenty!
