We are all navigating this brave new world together. As the new term edges ever closer (for many it has already started) the anxieties creep in and this year they are heightened.  I’ll be honest, there was a small part of me that hoped by September everything would have worked itself out. That seems like wishful thinking now. Every day it seems like there is something new to consider, from guidance to masks, to bubbles, to washing hands and this is on top of the normal new job nerves! 

Yesterday, I had my first inset day at my new school. It was a truly wonderful day and has put my mind at ease for September. However, many of you will be starting a new job in Autumn without having had that opportunity to ease in. With that in mind I thought it might be helpful to share some tips I’ve picked up for moving to a new school.
