• has high expectations and the ability to improve outcomes for all children
• is committed to our vision to help every child be the best they can be
• promotes positive behaviour that is relational, restorative and focused on learning
• believes wholeheartedly in equality, inclusion and celebrating diversity within our school community

In return, we offer:

• happy, caring and enthusiastic children who are keen to learn
• a friendly, hardworking and supportive staff team who genuinely look out for one another
• strong, supportive leadership and committed governors
• positive relationships with parents and the wider community
• very good facilities and a well‑resourced learning environment
• "a culture of nurture and belonging where all are welcome and supported to thrive" (SIAMS Inspection, 2024)
