West Kent headteacher resignations: Judd and TWGSB

The headmaster of Judd and headteacher of TWGSB have both announced their resignations in the past two weeks.

Mr Masters of Judd is staying until next summer, taking a year off, then returning to (unspecified) work in the Education sector; Mr Harrison of TWGSB is leaving this Christmas, citing health reasons.

What a shame for both schools.

Is the pressure of budget cuts a contributory factor? Or the changed academic assessment regime? Or one national curriculum overhaul too many? A combination of these or none? Does anyone know?

I think you might be reading too much into this apparent coincidence of timing.
