Working collaboratively with teaching assistants, the SENDCo and wider support services, you will be committed to removing barriers to learning and ensuring that all pupils, regardless of their starting points, are able to thrive.

We are proud of our strong community ethos and our commitment to developing the whole child through our Christian values of Respect, Friendship, Service, Justice, Perseverance and Forgiveness. You will play an active role in the wider life of the academy, contributing to curriculum development, enrichment opportunities and the continual improvement of teaching and learning.
