If you've resolved that 2025 is the year that you are going to do something about your wellbeing and working hours, then maybe the @headsup4hts.bsky.social intentional wellbeing app is worth a look. It can help you look after yourself as well as drafting letters and being there to bounce ideas off.⬇️

Morning all, Hoping the decisions to open, close or delay are easy to make today and that all your communities are safe. Solidarity with anyone who is out shovelling or gritting. Equally, to anyone who is dealing with floods. What a way to start the spring term!

More snow coming in... Headteachers face awful decisions about whether it is safe to open the school site. Site managers complete Herculean tasks keeping paths clear and gritted and pipes unfrozen. In so many small, rural schools, those jobs are done by one and the same person.

A huge hug and a big mug of hot chocolate to all those heads who had difficult decisions to make today about opening, delaying opening, not opening... There's so many factors to take into account and you can never please everyone. Thank you for working to keep everyone safe.

Sending love and solidarity to the surprisingly high number of contacts who we know got the Ofsted call yesterday. It makes no sense that I can see to inspect a school in the first week of spring term but there we have it. Let's hope you get to show the best of what you do.

Go on then, how was the first day back? Did the staff run amok like the kids in a back to school anxiety dream? had the boiler failed and the flat roof sprung a leak? Did you get The Call? Or was it, actually, fine? Did it not matter that you hadn't done your marking? Was it nice to see the folks?

Which snowflake are you today? ❄️ I’m a 1; some exciting opportunities that were on the horizon are about to be embraced. #wellbeing

We are very excited to be presenting at the Great Big Small Schools Inset Day today with @CharteredColl and @churchofengland. We'll be sounding the bell for wellbeing alongside a plethora of brilliant speakers delivering on a whole host of topics. What a brilliant initiative.

Shout out to all colleagues heading back into school today - be kind to yourselves, be kind to each other, eat the frog if you need to but make the most of the opportunities to find joy. By lunch it will all be normal again...

Last minute prep on the train to London!! Can’t wait to join 750+ colleagues for a whole day of small school inspiration, learning and sharing. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us make this day happen! #GBSSINSET #bettertogether #smallbutmighty

Some of us will have the worst Sunday Evening Dread going on tonight. Be gentle on yourself. It's worth thinking about the many children and young people who are going to bed SO excited to see us in the morning. Try to be ready to greet them with joy.

We have got some AMAZING book clubs coming up. Which one are you looking forward to? Don't forget to book your place. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/headsup4hts-book-club-tickets-1011776379387?aff=oddtdtcreator

Is today laptop opening day? Are you back in school? Or are you still enjoying the last of the break? Whichever way you're handling it, do what's best for you. Have a beautiful day. The frost here is just AMAZING.

Lots of colleagues heading back into school today. I hope the flat roof hasn't leaked and there's plenty of coffee in the jar. Very best wishes for the coming term and the whole of 2025. Let's hope it brings good news for our sector. Happy New Year everyone.

Happy Christmas to everyone in our network. Whether you are spending Christmas with friends and family or spending it alone, you matter and we care about you. A safe and calm day to every one.
