At the end of next academic year I will have done two years at my school (school-based training year + NQT year). Assuming a job will be there for me, which is likely as I have already been spoken to assuming I am staying, I am in a big dilemma. It is a deprived area which I love the challenge of, generally very family feel among staff and I very much feel valued there. I have been supported well this year and learnt a lot of good practice.
My worries:
Not much opportunity for progression as not much turnover and few middle management positions (no year/phase leaders etc)
Likely to get stuck in my year group as people very settled where they are so I won't have opportunity for KS1 experience which I want
Location - it is commutable if I move but I could work somewhere nearer
Long term I want to aim for management but am thinking at some point I want to swap to private. Due to personal circs private would provide the longer holidays which would help (but not essential yet).
I have a while to decide and need to see how next year goes. Any views though?

Love school but not good for progression
