New Head.

[cazien]

The Crypt are saying goodbye to Mr Standen in April next year - new head on the way

[neveragain*]

We will miss him....I wonder who will come in his place?

Will Nick Dyer step up? Or will they look for a new person from outside......

Must be the season for new Heads - Churchdown Academy, Newent Community, Severn Vale, Field Court Junior, Longlevens Junior etc - not that long since STR and Pates appointed new Heads as well. Mr Standen has certainly turned Crypt around - big shoes to fill

I heard someone say that nowadays, heads stay on average for 5 to 6 years, then look to move. People are always looking for new challenges.

[Stressed?Moi?]

Thankfully that wasn't the case for dc's last school. The new head systematically trashed everything good about the school then left after about 2 years (we had already left by then), and moved on. My friend, who was a teacher there (and nearly left as she couldn't stand it) subsequently found out he had been nicknamed 'the 2 year head' as he always moves on after 2 years - god knows where he is now. Grrr.
