"Wanda Noakes begins her second year as Headteacher at Daubeney Primary in Hackney, east London, feeling she has just a few weeks left to turn the school around. Continuing scrutiny from the Hackney Learning Trust, below average Year6 SATs results, and the possibility of an Ofsted inspection keep up the pressure. Wanda begins the session with an INSET day to improve the standard of teaching and learning and encourages staff to adopt a more thematic, creative approach. She also plans to set up a nurture group for children with specific needs.
Francine Martin (SENCO) and Increase Eko (AHT) discuss what's involved and how pupils will benefit. Wanda is still dealing with serious staffing issues but enjoys training and is delegating more. Despite limited funds the nurture group goes ahead and a new secure reception area is built. Again stress makes Wanda ill. But good news comes with the final review of the Learning Trust and the children saying they're much happier."

Wanda Noakes has started her second term as headteacher at Daubeney Primary School and Hackney Learning Trust arrive to complete a thorough review of teaching and learning. Every member of staff has their lessons observed and the senior management team has their performance reviewed.
The results are not good. A tough set of targets are set for Wanda and some critical decisions have to be made about people's jobs. With the pressure mounting on Wanda to raise the school's standards she has some crucial decisions to take.
Just before Easter both her long-serving deputies agree to leave the school. We hear about this decision from both Wanda's perspective and from one of her deputies who is coming to terms with the end of her 30-year career at Daubeney Primary.
Alongside this, school life has to continue. Wanda's plans for the Early Years involve more building works, and half way through the term her support staff join the nationwide Unison strike for pensions.

With the deputies gone, a new leadership team takes charge at Daubeney Primary School. But the demands of last term have caught up with Wanda, the new headteacher, and shortly after Easter she falls ill. In her absence the three new assistant heads are left to hold the fort. It isn't just Wanda who is off sick but 12 other members of staff as well.
When Wanda returns it is clear there is a lot of work to do. The Early Years teaching is entirely overhauled and teachers and teaching assistants are retrained to work with a more child-centred approach. Some staff find the challenges difficult and Wanda feels she still doesn't have a team.
With the help of the Learning Trust Wanda reviews the school's planning policies. The relentless pressures are taking their toll on everyone and predictably Wanda questions why she became a headteacher, but when she thinks of all the children she is helping, she remembers what attracted her to the top job.

"Wanda Noakes is the first new headteacher to be appointed to Daubeney Primary in Hackney, north London, for more than 20 years. With over 500 pupils to look after and a staff of 70 to manage the challenge is daunting.
Four weeks into her role Wanda decides to keep a video diary and after 6 weeks she assesses how she is doing and reflects on her management style. Wanda is passionate about inclusion, the positive benefits of the performing arts and the need to develop close contact with parents. She is coping well but finds leadership and managing change challenging. There's an urgent need to repair some buildings and already she has ambitious plans for developing the school grounds. Most of her staff are positive and supportive of the changes she is introducing. However Wanda's two deputies know that some are wary and anxious about how her new ideas will affect them."

Wanda Noakes, the new headteacher at Daubeney Primary in Hackney, north London, returns after her first half term break with renewed enthusiasm. Her plan to involve parents more works well and they come up with ideas to celebrate Black History Month. Ten weeks into her leadership she feels pupils and parents are on side but there is still a lot to do to establish a good rapport with staff. The allocation of teaching and learning responsibilities is an issue and her two deputies feel she is introducing too many changes too quickly. Wanda disagrees. She feels the changes are important for the pupils. She also has to tell them that she will only be able to afford one deputy by 2008. Wanda was aware that parts of her job would be tough but feels the qualification for new heads helped her prepare. As Christmas approaches Wanda receives good news about her children's centre and gets some positive feedback from staff. Her advice for new heads? Grit your teeth and have lots of early nights.
