Further details about the role
We work in close partnership with families in order to build strong attachments with our children. We value their well-being and involvement in their learning and encourage their creativity across the curriculum, both inside and outdoors. We place a high emphasis on communication, language and thinking skills and we believe in feeding children’s curiosity. We work hard to build friendships, foster independence and self-confidence and promote life-long learning skills. Grace Owen is an inclusive setting where everyone is welcome and valued. We are a Local Authority Centre of Excellence for SEND.
We are a forward-thinking school and we seek out innovative approaches to enrich our successful and established routine and curriculum.
