Last year we ran a few extracts from the Diary of a School Administrator - the daily jottings of a colleague somewhere in the Midlands.

This proved so popular that we’ve decided to pick up the diary entries again - only this time in their complete form, day by day, as the world unfolds around the school office.

We’d like to hear your comments and thoughts - and indeed your stories relating to life in school administration. There will be an email address at the end of each diary entry, so please do write to me. And if you don’t mind April referring to your comments in her diary, just say so.

The first diary entry will appear here within the next 24 hours.
