This wonderful school has been my home for the past two years. Although I am moving on, I do so reluctantly. The school is in a fantastic position for another motivated, ambitious and nurturing leader to take it forward. Lots more info here: leithwalkprimary.wordpress.c…

Graduation done. Dancing to bagpipes with my daughter and having her there to celebrate is definitely a strong reminder of why I embarked on #Intoheadship

2 weeks ago a learner described achievement as “something that makes you feel proud”. Yesterday I did something that would’ve terrified me a few months ago but today I feel amazing! A wonderful friend encouraged me and was by my side 🏊‍♀️🚲🏃‍♀️. I’ve loved the training…next one? 🤔

A personal one for me as I am TERRIFIED of water. A testament to the lovely, amazing young people for encouraging and supporting each other and me. They never knew I was scared or had a fear but they were so supportive of each other it made it easy to feel safe! 🫶
Both Miss Tait and Mrs Lansdown are enjoying getting stuck into all the joys that Lagganlia offers
