Hi
 

If I were to let the SL know of the transfer, wouldn't I be allowing him or her to spread bad rumours about me to my new school before open posting ends?

Your potential new school, the heads, SLs would have already asked from their contacts in your current school...

Your new colleagues will know everything that your current colleagues and bosses will share about you - regardless of whether you let your SL know or not.

Why are you worried about "bad rumours" being spread? That phrase implies some untruth in the things that you think your SLs will say. Have you been regularly offending people?

My previous RO didnt mentioned anything about my performance, also my new RO now hasnt meet me yet.
Will transferring to a new school affect your current CEP? Because it is something like starting all over again..

How to survive in a school if your current school is super political?

It will not be a case whereby you need to restart the entire thing. Your CEP follows you to your new school. But they might need some time to know you before deciding to raise your CEP if you have intention to move up the leadership/ teaching track.

Target setting should be done at the beginning of the year. Some...laid back ones will meet their JH in term 2.

This SOP is something that the KPs should challenge. How can one start a year afresh without having a closure to the previous? If JH were to ask you, you cannot keep the grade from him/her.

You think SLs are so free to go around spreading rumours about teachers? And if one is that infamous, people at the new school would have caught wind of it without the SLs sharing with one another.

Sounds like its not rumour after all

You do know that even if you get selected by the new school, they will call up your current P to find out more about you?

If my P doesn't want to allow me to transfer because of various reasons, then the P may choose not to give negative remarks am I right?
