- The School Team
We employ highly talented teachers and teaching assistants who bring with them enthusiasm and a love of their role. All staff frequently review their teaching and continuously develop their classroom skills.
Each class receives considerable additional support from classroom assistants and voluntary parental helpers.
The school also has an experienced team of administrators who ensure the smooth-running of the school, the welfare of the pupils, and effective communication with parents and the wider community.
