"Boys of all ages know that the banter can go too far & become hurtful. They also know that sexualised banter is wrong & is used for cheap laughs to gain social influence. Hold up a non-judgemental mirror to this form of behaviour – repeatedly." Andrew Hampton www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1...

Headship: "It’s a job, a job you can choose to walk away from at any time; but also a job which, to be done well, needs your full personal commitment. In order not to be overwhelmed, you have to realise you aren’t actually the school, merely its guardian & keeper..." @girlsonboard.bsky.social 1/2

"Between girls, in my experience, bullying is rare. Conflict, when it arises, can very often be summed-up by the useful phrase, 'normal-if-regrettable friendship turbulence'. The solution is the evocation of empathy, using guided reflection, not investigation & sanctions." @girlsonboard.bsky.social

“The Girls on Board training is incredibly refreshing & insightful.
It’s refreshing to be able to take a step back, observe and listen to the girls talk to each other but ask questions which empower them to feel that they have solved their own misunderstandings.”
