The Head Teacher leads the experienced team of teachers and teaching assistants. Between them, they can offer a wide range of subjects which covers all of a modified National Curriculum.

• outstanding classroom ability and behaviour management practice
• the ability to create and deliver stimulating programs of study in Geography, History, and Art
• flexibility and willingness to work as part of our hardworking, supportive small team
• ability to teach across other subjects
