Junior School and Nursery Staff

Junior School teacher helping pupils

Our staff are highly qualified, dynamic and enthusiastic about helping our pupils reach their full potential. With small class sizes, our teachers are able to properly get to know each child, and to help them with their individual needs.

The teaching does not stop outside the classroom either, with all staff involved in running co-curricular activities which help children find new interests and develop skills.

All details are correct as of August 2024.
