I am about to embark on the MA in Educational Leadership and Management. As you can probably imagine, this fills me with a combination of excitement and dread. I don’t seem to find time for everything I have to do at the moment, so quite how I am to do this I don’t know.

However, the time seems right (if for no other reason than it will be 50% funded at the moments), and I need to be more reflective in my career at the moment.

I have been an Assistant Headteacher for about a year now, and any success has been purely accidental. That doen’t mean that I have neccesarily done anything wrong – on the contrary, there have been some real high points. However, I am not sure that they have always correlated with the  work that I have consciously done.

Which brings me back to here. I don’t know how well I will do studying at Masters Level – I have a classic drinkers degree (2:2), so this is a bit unknown. However, I do know I am motivated and interested, so here goes.
