• Is patient, reflective, and enthusiastic about children’s learning journeys

In return, we offer:

• A caring and values-led school community
• Children who are curious, polite, and eager to learn
• A dedicated and supportive team of staff
• A strong Christian ethos that supports every member of our school family
• Opportunities for continued professional development
