Therefore, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate how they have improved outcomes in their own setting.

As a school we value subject knowledge and have fully embraced a Rosenshine approach to teaching and learning. We hold high expectations of our students in both their conduct and what they can achieve and value strong working relationships between teachers and students.
