Sorry about your past like road. Sounds like you picked a new goodin.
Tell us more about the state school.
It is an incredible place. Deeply challenging children from a very poor socio-economic background with little aspiration and second of third generation of unemployment. Their parents are largely uneducated and do not hold any ambitions for their children, but through outreach and local community work, we encourage an ethos of aspiration and ambition to become more than we've been allotted. The north east of England is a place that has been largely betrayed by big politics...sadly.
We - without apology - see ourselves as the bastions of a hopeful future.
And we won't back down.
Cool. Age(s) of the kids? Duties as Deputy Head? That's a title I'm not familiar with.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
