Job overview
One of our Year 2 teachers is moving abroad with her family and as a result a teaching position becomes available at the school. The Lower School is a vibrant place to teach and work. There is a strong positive vibe and all the teachers and assistants work together in a collaborative way.
It is an exciting time for the Lower School and we have just appointed a new Head of Lower School, Mrs Victoria McSorland. Many classes are full and we have recently expanded Year 2 due to a demand for places. The other Year 2 teacher, Mrs Davies, has recently moved from our Nursery class where she was covering a maternity leave and has bags of experience; prior to this she was a Deputy in the state sector.
