As part of Headteacher development opportunities, the 318 Education Trust run an annual project where headteachers ‘swap’ schools for a short period of time. This year, I have been paired with Mrs Sue Lovecy who is the headteacher at StMartins School in Oswestry. From Monday 17th to Wednesday 19th June I will be at St Martins and Mrs Lovecy will be at Hodnet. Mrs Williams will be out of class and on hand to support any issues that may arise and will guide Mrs Lovecy in the role of Headteacher at Hodnet. Likewise the deputy at St Martins will support me. This should be an interesting project enabling us to see how each of the schools are led and managed, it will be particularly interesting for me as St Martins is a through school catering for pupils aged 3 -16 (and probably a huge challenge – secondary is a whole different ball game!!).
Please continue to contact school in the normal ways, staff will be on hand to support you. If there is anything particularly urgent which requires my involvement, I am contactable and will ensure I am available.
Thank you for your continued support, wish me luck!
Mrs Lyall.
