Looking back over this half-term, you might feel like you’ve been dealing with one parent issue after another.
It can feel like every parent has a problem. Or that too many parents are frustrated with what the school is doing.
That’s emotionally wearing. You’re working so hard for your pupils and your community. And when it feels like you’re being bombarded — even attacked — it can really take a toll.
Here’s the thing: emotions are sticky. They amplify problems and make them feel much bigger than they actually are.
That’s why we need to zoom out — and let the data bring perspective.

Here’s to zooming out,
