Staff
Our school is proud to have a diverse and talented team, bringing together a wealth of experience from education and beyond. This blend of backgrounds and expertise creates a rich learning environment where different ideas, skills and perspectives come together to inspire our children.
Our teaching team brings a wide-ranging mix of experience from other schools, local authorities and even different industries, with several teachers holding or currently pursuing National Professional Qualifications (NPQs). All our teaching staff hold Qualified Teacher Status.
Within our Teaching Assistants team, staff hold qualifications in nurture, play therapy and speech and language, as well as Early Years Level 4, with some working towards Diplomas in SpLD and training to become teachers.
