Tomorrow is my last day at Priestsic Primary School where I have spent the last seven years. After Easter I take up my role as Deputy Head Teacher at John Davies Primary School.
I am excited and nervous all rolled into one. This is a major crossroads in my career and I am keen to make a start.
For the first 4 weeks I will be the classteacher in the Foundation 2 or Reception class (4/5 year olds). I am really excited about this as I will be returning to an age group that inspired me to teach in the first place. I have worked in upper key stage 2 for many years now and so it will be a big change.
Some people may see this as a challenge, I see it as an opportunity. Winston Churchill would have called me an optimist:
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
I join an outstanding Early Years team and my aim is to soak it all up, to learn as much as I can from those around me and to remind myself everyday why I chose this amazing profession.

I'm a year 1 teacher and love the creativity the children have, enjoy every minute Tom.
Best of Luck.

Thanks for the encouragement Roger – it is much appreciated.
All the best Tom, having made several jumps between schools in my career they are all a bit scary but also all a bit amazing. Continue to develop and share and all will be well.
