Staff
Our team of staff is creative, committed and caring. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest standards of teaching to ensure that all our pupils reach their full potential and enjoy their learning.
We offer an innovative and inspiring learning environment, which is complemented by an exciting curriculum and extensive opportunities for pupils to learn new skills and develop new interests.
We value all staff and always encourage a team approach, continuously working together to drive up standards and achieve our vision of excellence. All of our class teachers are supported by dedicated teaching assistants and both work positively with our pupils to ensure they work calmly and studiously in lessons. We also have our parental army who work to support the reading needs of pupils across the school.
We believe parent involvement in learning is of the highest importance and have specific procedures in place to ensure that the channels of communication are kept open. All parents are able to speak with their child's teacher at the end of the school day once they have dismissed all of their children to their parents or carers. If, at any point, a parent desires a longer consultation, the office can be contacted to make an appointment.
