Rural Headship: A Headteacher Speaks!
http://blog.hargrave.org.uk/2010/03/rural-headship-headteacher-speaks.html
My recent blog post about Threats to Rural Primary Schools was prompted in part by the attendance of our Headteacher, Melanie Barrow at a rural headship event run by the National College.
The National College have now posted a copy of the video and powerpoint slides from Melanie's presentation. You can watch the video or download the Powerpoint Slides.
Melanie makes the point that rural headships can be an excellent first appointment for younger heads. This does mean that local authorities and governing bodies need to ensure that there is high quality support in place. Melanie talks about her own path to headship and her experiences since being a head.
