We have designed our own highly effective and unique ‘local curriculum’, built to inspire and equip pupils with self-belief and a love of learning. Pupils really enjoy coming to school, where they are exposed to a rich array of cultural experiences and community opportunities.
We believe that we play a vital role in preparing our pupils for, not only the next step of their learning journey, but for adulthood and the world of work. We encourage them on the path towards being independent, confident and motivated citizens, able to make responsible choices and take full advantage of opportunities that life offers.

- able to work well within a team with strong personal skills
- patient, kind and supportive
- enthusiastic, inspirational and have a passion for learning
- able to demonstrate good levels of English and Maths
We can offer:
- a welcoming, supportive and motivated staff team with high levels of expertise
- great children who love their school and their learning
- an exceptional offer of continued professional development
