Today was an unbelievable day! I got to open a brand new school called The Croft Primary School. I had watched it being built for 6 months with both excitement and trepidation. It seemed so slow to take shape at first and then by the end of August it was a school building. Then it dawned on me that I was the person in charge, I had to make the decisions and support new staff and children. Everyone would come to me for answers and advice and I wasn’t sure I would have the answers yet! It was easy to unpack the resources , timetable the day, decide on uniform and which books to use. I was planned and prepared. The tricky bits were the parts that I couldn’t plan for – what if the staff didn’t show up? What if the children didn’t show up? What if the parents asked tricky questions? What if…what if…? Then came day 1 the 3. 9. 12; the teachers came, the families came, White Horse Federation colleagues came…and everyone smiled! I smiled too, made some new friends and played with the new children and then the what ifs? turned into ‘it’s going to be OK’.
