This will be brilliant. I have always found @strickomaster.bsky.social books helpful. And some of the lockdown 'webinar' stuff really stuck with me. If you are a school leader his stuff is really worth a look.

Delighted to see the local press reporting so positively on The Duston School…. www.northamptonchron.co.uk/education/ma...

It has been quite the year for The Duston School. As one of the largest schools in the country (and an all-through) this is no mean feat. Delighted for our community.

"The real test of a headteacher is not how they lead on a good day but how they stand on the difficult ones." Love this, @strickomaster.bsky.social: samstrickland384843542.wordpress.com/2025/12/12/h...

What a great summary of the challenges and rewards of the role from @strickomaster.bsky.social Great read! samstrickland384843542.wordpress.com

This resonates hugely -

New blog…. Headship: The Reality of Sitting in the Chair samstrickland384843542.wordpress.com/2025/12/12/h...

Using the updated #GatsbyBenchmarks The Duston School & South Midlands Career Hub have created new, lasting connections between teachers and local employers, increasing the presence of #CareersGuidance in the curriculum and boosting teachers’ labour market understanding 👏 @strickomaster.bsky.social

When the challenges feel huge and we're just trying to get through the week, you’re spot-on: our unshakeable belief is the why that keeps us going. As many of us hit half term, or will do next week, it’s probably timely to revisit the ‘why’ to give us the energy for the rest of the term. #teaching

This is a great read @strickomaster . Especially love the part about hope being a strategy, not just a fluffy feeling. I think it really hits home for anyone working in schools right now.

What a fantastic and much needed dose of positivity from @strickomaster.bsky.social. It resonates because it is true!

“In #education, hope is a deliberate choice. One that we cannot afford to leave behind. As schoolleaders, teachers, we are not just transmitters of knowledge. We are custodians of culture. We are the adult in the room when everything else outside of school might be falling apart for a young person.”

I love this! “Hope, in that sense, is radical. It is defiant.”

There are lots of issues within education but I think it is important not to lose sight of hope… samstrickland384843542.wordpress.com/2025/10/18/h...
