Staff Vacancies
Leaders, including governors, value the work of all staff. Leaders consult regularly about how to improve the school. Staff are positive about the school. They appreciate how leaders take their workload and their well-being into consideration. Furthermore, new staff and early careers teachers speak highly of the support and mentoring that they have received- Ofsted 2023
