All teachers have curriculum responsibilities and belong to teaching and learning teams. There are opportunities to progress to UPR, project lead and apply for leadership positions. We value continuous professional development and encourage teachers to study further to maintain high standards of pedagogy.
We have a shallow water pool onsite. Teachers are expected to support pool-based lessons, this requires water competency and confidence rather than swimming skills.
Teachers will be appointed to the school; however, class teachers will be based on 1 site.
On occasions teachers may be asked to cover/attend meetings at their non-based site. Expenses would be covered if this was the situation to cover the difference in additional miles are incurred.
