This school is a young, vibrant and successful school and we are looking for someone to play a key role in the next phase of its development.
Opened in 2015, to meet the demand of local families who wanted a high quality Maiden Erlegh school, but adapted to this rich and thriving multi-cultural community, the school has grown year on year to fill its 900-capacity building and we are proud that we are oversubscribed and the school of choice for local families.
