Jobs .. what to look for

To add as well .. I"m damn good at my job (which , I think , is part of the problem as I'm such a people pleaser /perfectionist). Management think highly of me. My class are tough but only because the SEND support I need isn't there m and with the SENd Rewiew /white paper that isn't going to get better any time soon

I've got a 95+ minimum success rate for children for the last 6 years. I work in a great school with great people.

It's not that I need to try a different school.

I've worked in 'deprived' schools and mine is not that.

Have you considered being a social worker?

I stopped teaching after 7 years. It’s so hard and draining. Non-teachers will never understand. The holidays aren’t worth it and only people who don’t teach will think that it’s too much time off, which is the whole problem that people don’t and will never understand how much we deserve that time off. Honestly, there’s so much more to life. Leave asap x

Maybe train to become a childminder and just start your own business by being a childminder from home. My daughter’s friend mum is a childminder and she runs her own childminding business from home. She looks after about 4 kids, but she still sends her daughter to nursery during academic terms. Otherwise she gets to pretty much stay home and still be with her kids too. She was also an ex-teacher in primary school.
