Our Staff
The Headteacher has a team of 13 teachers and 20 support staff, some of whom work part-time and support children with special educational needs. Early Years Practitioners work alongside the teacher at each Nursery session.
We are aware that our staff are our most valuable asset - dedicated and hardworking, they strive endlessly to improve the quality of provision for pupils at our school.
Meet the staff at our school!
