Description
The Giles Nursery and Infants' School is in a pleasant residential area on the outskirts of Stevenage. the school has recently converted from two-form to three-form entry and it draws children from a range of socio-economic and multicultural backgrounds. The school also has a specialised Base catering for children with an EHC plan for Special Needs in Speech and Language.
This is a good school with outstanding features; the latest Hertfordshire Annual Review graded the school 'outstanding'. Our pupils enter with skills and aptitudes that are below that usually found and leave with attainment that is above average and sometimes well above.
The school is committed to the safety and protection of its pupils and staff. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people is paramount and the School expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
