* have high aspirations for every child in our school, and strive to ensure that every second of their learning adventure is magical, memorable and of the highest possible standard;
* uphold the school’s Christian values and support the school’s distinct Christian ethos; be an excellent communicator, able to engage both children and parents showing compassion and kindness at all times;
* be committed to their own professional learning and development; be able to contribute and support the school's continual drive for better and to achieve more than we dreamed possible.
We offer:
