I have officially been at my school for a whole term. It has not only completely changed my day to day life, but also my whole outlook and mindset 
One of my favourite things has been how much I learn every day. Here are just some of the things I have learnt:
One of my favourite things has been how much I learn every day. Here are just some of the things I have learnt:
1. The meaning of loads of medical terminology and jargon! I can now chat about aspirations and Hickman lines with the best of them 
2. How so much of working in a school for complex physical and medical needs revolves around bathrooming! 
3. The SEN allowance teachers in special ed get is to cover the additional paperwork they have to undertake 
4. The names and conditions of 100 pupils (the most amazing children I have ever met) 
5. There is unimaginable joy where some would presume there to be heartbreak and sorrow
6. The systems and processes not only used within my new school but the wider borough as I’m also new to that 
7. How 20 school buses, 3 cabs and 17 parental drop-offs can run like clockwork every morning 
8. How to communicate with people using Makaton, Eye Gaze, Switches and communication books 
9. To be deputy head to a staff of 130 amazing colleagues, during the toughest term teaching may have ever seen 
10. That I can make incredible friends that I know will be a part of my life for ever, in just a few months
11. That it’s okay to laugh in most situations - in fact it often helps 
12. That my children are resilient and amazing - they can excel in areas that most adults will never even experience 
13. To embrace every single minute of life because it is short and precious 
14. To put things into perspective - I am so blessed and used to moan about the most ridiculous things 
15. That work can be your favourite part of the day and that you can laugh so hard you cry, while also getting shit done! 
16. That I love my job and made the best choice of my life by making this move
