You will be well supported by welcoming and knowledgeable staff within a well-run, hard-working school which holds as its core value the wellbeing of its pupils, parents and staff.

An amazing opportunity has arisen due to expansion for a two day a week Speech and Language Therapy Assistant to join our team on a one year Fixed Term basis.
