Retiring and Thriving: Planning for retirement programme
Retirement is a huge life transition. School, college and trust leaders are leaving jobs which have been challenging, maybe stressful, but also rewarding and fun. So much time and energy has been invested into providing the best education possible for the young people in our care but suddenly that stops. Some may continue to work but for many, there are still a lot of change and adjustments to make.
This new programme provides participants with a supportive and confidential space to share their concerns, queries and plans with other colleagues going through a similar transition. Over three online sessions and a face-to-face meeting at ASCL HQ (full details in the Programme tab below), discussions will centre around priorities and what makes a healthy and satisfying retirement. Everyone is different so there is no blueprint, however, these sessions provide the opportunity to reflect on individual aspirations and plans, giving the space and information needed to thrive in retirement.
The workshops will be led by retired headteachers, Patsy Kane and Alan Brady.
