As Headteacher, I’m delighted to welcome you to the team. I have the greatest pleasure in spearheading this team of experienced and professional staff who provide your children, our pupils, with an outstanding education on all levels. Our pupils learn from the best – from our inspirational teachers with a genuine passion for teaching, to our staff who support these teachers and ensure that the school is safe and secure. Everyone in the team is key to ensuring that your children receive the best education in a nurturing and safe environment allowing them to learn and grow as individuals.

Staff allocations

Whilst classroom teacher allocations are normally fixed for the current academic year, due to the varying nature of classroom needs and current funding, our teaching partners do sometimes move between classes, as and when extra provision is needed. Therefore, the distribution of our teaching partners should only be used as a guide to our additional classroom support.
