•        be a strong, committed and reflective teacher;

•        have experience in raising student achievement and implementing effective intervention;

•        have excellent interpersonal and communication skills;

•        be aware of the new changes in the curriculum, and have ideas of how to implement this;

•        be committed to maintaining the high standard of teaching that is already embedded within our Learning Community.

We will be:

•        a welcoming and supportive team;

•        an excellent provider of career development and challenge, with excellent CPD opportunities;

•        at the cutting edge of learning and teaching, as we develop our school and our curriculum.
