I have had the pleasure of being a Head Teacher in Highland Council for over 12 years. I accept the cliche that every day is a school day because a) every day my school is in my thoughts and b) every day I try to learn and improve as a Head Teacher. My determination to improve increasingly leads me to read Business based Leadership research alongside embracing the bewildering array of sector specific information available online. Currently I am trying to embed the principles of Collaborative Professionalism in how we operate as a school. Other days I read novels, cycle, walk my dog and try to be the type of husband and father my greatest supporters deserve.
