We need our learning environment to be:

  • Happy and organised
  • Caring and fair
  • Full of surprises

We would like our learning to be:

  • Fun and versatile
  • Creative and challenging

Our phenomenal new teacher will be confident and have a good sense of humour. Their lessons will be mind-blowing and they will be patient and resourceful if we don’t understand.
