With Wimbledon fast approaching it seemed to offer a suitable metaphor for considering our well-being as we move deeper into the Summer term.  Resilience remains an important element for all staff, and this includes leaders, such as yourself, who are guiding your teachers through this challenging academic year. So, come and share in the discussion as we all rally to find the strength and conviction to be the best that we can be.

David has researched and published about resilience for the four years since he left Headship.
