If you have a passion for motivating and inspiring both children and adults, you could be what we are looking for. We are focused on continued professional development and building on individuals’ strengths to best deliver and enhance the curriculum. We are fully supportive of investment in CPD to enable our teachers to take their careers in the direction they would like it to go.
