A kind and caring person, enjoying the bustling life of our diverse school family and always looking to recognise our polite and welcoming children.
An excellent English speaker and writer with the ability to model this every day in all aspects of your work.
Efficient and effective in your working practices, able to prioritise well and demonstrate resilience.

In return, our team can offer:

An optimistic and close-knit senior leadership team with a track record of improving schools.
A firmly established ethos of caring for one another in our school family.
A strong middle and senior leadership team who will guide and nurture you through your role.
