In return we can offer you:

• A truly child centred, friendly and holistic school

• A strong team and school community

• A safe and nurturing environment for our staff as well as our pupils

• A supportive and solution focused SENCO and SLT who are dedicated to school improvement

As well as:

• Dedicated specialist teams to support our teaching and learning e.g. PE Team, Language Team, Family team, Creative Arts Team

• Teaching Assistant support in all year groups

• Lots of extra-curricular activities and trips for the children

• Progression pathways

• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme

• Comprehensive whole school and individual CPD programme

• Onsite parking

• A well-equipped staff room, access to school lunches and a central location with many amenities in very short walking distance
