This week, Bobby chats with the wonderful Mandy McDowall - Headteacher of not one, but two primary schools.
What starts as playful banter about being “roped in” quickly unfolds into a rich, honest conversation about leadership in education, emotional regulation, the blur between managing and leading, and why schooling your face might just be the survival skill we all need.
Hooked early on by the camaraderie and humour of MTALJ, Mandy brings warmth, insight, and a touch of her South African roots to this episode.
Come for the headteacher chat, stay for the mic-drop moment: “It’s okay to take risks.”
