• Drive forward a culture of continuous improvement
• Inspire, motivate and empower colleagues
• Innovate to improve the school
• To commit to the values of the school
• Ensure all pupils in our inclusive school receive the best possible educational experiences to enable them to flourish.

We will offer:

• a supportive environment to develop and grow your skills, strengths and leadership
• a dedicated team of talented and caring staff where team work is strong and morale is high
• a welcoming, friendly, culturally diverse school with well behaved and courteous children who enjoy learning, working hard and growing
