All of the above might get started but in school you're busy being a visible presence, dealing with issues with parents,, meeting various people (social workers, police, ed psychs, school improvement partners, community members, parents, people who you're working on projects with, builders, businesses, children's centre workers etc.) meeting with and supporting teachers, doing duties, assemblies, running clubs and committees with the kids, meeting with governors about various issues, dealing with any incidents, teaching, runnin open mornings, training, running workshops for parents, attending meetings with the LA or representatives, going to case conferences, going to cabinet if there's a motion being passed which will affect your school, getting out into the community where it's needed, promoting the school, answering the phones when the secretary is sick, unblocking the drains if the caretaker is off, fixing the boiler. Oh yeah, a spot of teaching too.
The thing with headship is, you can go on with a clear diary, with every intention of getting top side of the paperwork and something can happen at 7.30 am that you're still dealing with at 6pm. The paperwork hasn't been touched so you bring it home with you.
