What skills and experience we're looking for

We follow a creative curriculum to encourage children to become independent learners. We are looking for energetic, innovative teachers that have the ability to provide children with lessons that they will remember for the rest of their academic life. Dressing up for book week and other curriculum related days are essential, therefore a sense of humour is a must! You must have good communication and organisational skills with the confidence to work on your own initiative.

We actively encourage you to come and view the school so you can soak up the friendly atmosphere and get a feel for the amazing facilities you could be involved in and discuss the values and expectations of the Trust.
