 Teachers

We have a fantastically skilled and diverse team of teachers who have a wide range of experience and who teach our 10 classes.

Each class has a maximum number of 30 pupils in each class but we try to keep them as small in number as we can.  We are proud of each and every one of them.

 

 

Teaching Assistants

We are fortunate that each class has also has a dedicated skilled TA to support teaching and learning during the school day.  Some children also have a TA to support their extra needs.
