Ive applied for the role of a Lead Prac. Now, I'm very torn, I’ve been to see the school, I've spoken with the head of dept and I've observed an intervention and gained quite a lot of info about the school.
The only small issue is, I find the LP structure a bit confusing. My manager is the assistant head and not the head of dept? I have currently taken on a leadership role where I am working at the moment but I’m looking to transition into something else that’s slightly different to the trajectory I had planned.
I have been a head of department before too and I did enjoy having authority over certain decisions. Does that change with LP roles? Are they a bit less respected in that sense?
I have now also seen another role outside of teaching but still in education. I’ve spoken with the recruitment team there too and now I’m also interested in that opportunity.
This post probably looks like a “mish-mash” of everything so please do excuse me, but if anyone is able to chime in and offer me any advice about what LP roles are typically like , it would help.
