AI headteacher appointed at UK boarding school

Lead the school and outline its vision. Headteachers are required to set out their school’s vision and goals, implementing all policies required by regulatory bodies in the United Kingdom like the Department for Education (DfE), and identifying areas for improvement and making and delivering plans to do so.
Manage teachers and other supporting staff. Headteachers must interview and hire teachers and other school staff, and provide them with all of the support they need to ensure they can perform their duties in teaching pupils. They must also monitor teachers and create a positive work environment.
Ensure pupils are taught and kept safe. One of the most important aspects of being a Headteacher is ensuring that safeguarding policies are followed and that children are kept protected while in school. Headteachers must also set expectations for student behaviour and aid in their educational development by ensuring teachers follow the English National and unique school Curriculum.
Manage all financial aspects of the school. The Headteacher must manage school finances, ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately across the school. If needed, Headteachers must also work to seek additional funding and resources to help the school and teaching.
Communicate with staff, pupils, and more. A huge responsibility for a Headteacher is communication. All Headteachers will need to effectively communicate with their staff and pupils, as well as parents and regulatory board members like Ofsted.
It’s stressful, but also liberating that you’re the one setting the tone for the whole school, rather than following someone else’s path. I’m primary, which is obviously different to the role of secondary Headteacher. Of course it’s hard, but what job isn’t?
I’m a Headteacher. It’s pretty hectic and I don’t have a great senior leadership team at the moment, so I’m picking up way more than I should. However, I find it satisfying overall, and there are lots of things I still want to do in the role.
I’m an Assistant Head and get to make a real change that can positively impact our school community. I’m spending less time teaching, but I’m more available to support my colleagues and students. It was an enjoyable experience, which I don’t regret.
