Job summary;
We have a fantastic opportunity for a motivated, approachable, and organised individual to join our supportive team.

Our aim is to provide a happy learning environment where children thrive. The positive mental health and wellbeing of our whole school community is paramount and we support this through developing the very best relationships both with staff and pupils. Our new relationships charter, based on the message, 'Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Kind' is becoming embedded and reflects how we want everyone to be valued.
We warmly welcome visits to our school and would be delighted to show you around our school.
