Ok. I'm stuck in a rut.
We relocated a few years ago. I was previously working in a large school and was offered a middle management role just before we decided to relocate. So I wasn't able to take it up.
When we relocated I found what I thought would be an ideal job. In some ways it's fine, but I'm not keen on the school long term. Management is poor and no opportunities to progress.
I've kept my eyes open for head of year/dept roles for 18months or so. Nothing. I guess it is all internal :-(
Anyway a local school have just advertised a role which is an SMT role a bit like head of key stage.
It's basically two jumps up from where I am at the moment. But on a par with what I was offered at my old school.
Would I be mad to apply as a regular class teacher with essentially 'zero' management experience. Obviously I feel I am capable and do have examples I can give of when I have managed other people well etc. But on paper I might look like a weak candidate? I'm not sure! I'm still quite young (under 30) so not sure if that will also make me seem inexperienced.
I'm just desperate to make some progress!!
