The children are wonderful and the staff team always pull together to support one another.” — Teaching Assistant “It is rare to find a school where people feel so genuinely happy to come to work. Leaders care deeply about both the children and the wellbeing of staff.” — Middle Leader “The sense of community at Eastern Green is incredibly special. Visitors often comment on the calm, welcoming atmosphere as soon as they walk through the door.” — Office Team Member This post is open to both experienced teachers and Early Career Teachers.
