Staff

Our staff are experts in their field, working together professionally and enthusiastically.

We provide high quality opportunities for continuous professional development, promote action research and use evidence based practice to enrich our own learning.

We aspire to be national leaders for school to school support and outreach so that other children with SEND benefit too.
