Assistant Headteacher job summary
"Pupils are happy and feel safe at this inclusive school. They learn how to look after their physical and mental well-being. Pupils trust staff to help them sort out any worries or concerns quickly. Behaviour in lessons and around school is good. Bullying is rare and dealt with appropriately. Pupils take care of each other and form strong friendships. One pupil summed this up by saying, ‘If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours." (OfSTED, 2022).
