The Role
We seek to appoint an experienced lower primary school leader. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and forward thinking professional, who is able to build on the excellent work of their predecessor.
All pupils in our Early Years Department follow the National Curriculum. The core language of tuition is English with German language lessons provided to all pupils.
