New school for Y7, head leaving

My dc starting secondary in Sept, and going to a local school that was completely failing a few years ago. It became part of an excellent academy group in town and a new head went in and totally turned it around so that it's now really good and oversubscribed. It's really been sold to local parents and the head has been a fundamental part of the renewed appeal.

Now it's just been announced that head is leaving at Xmas. How worried should I be?

That's interesting, hope that's the case here 😬🤞

A really good head drives the changes, engages and skills their staff to continue them, and is then no longer specifically needed.
