• Leading CPD and Training - the Headteacher (and SLT) are keen for people to progress and not stagnate, the school is well-funded via a strong MAT and not in a large deficit!
• Inspiring Headteacher - I have personally spoken at length with the Head, she is LOVELY. Incredibly supportive, wants her staff and children to do well, but also understands the challenges teachers face in schools today!
