We have over 600 pupils and 90 staff who work collaboratively to support our pupils in achieving their full potential.

“Since being welcomed into the QH family, I have been supported and inspired by 

the teaching staff. I have benefited from regular training specifically for support staff. 

I value working with a dedicated team, who are passionate about bringing the 

curriculum to life.”
