Team
Our committed and dedicated team includes qualified teachers, teaching assistants, higher level teaching assistants, a range of therapists, administrative staff and support staff.
All play a significant role in the education and development of each pupil and work to create a warm, informal, friendly atmosphere in which the pupils feel secure, safe and confident. The school has a Parent Support Advisor who maintains close links with home and school whilst also ensuring good communication between the school and other relevant organisations.
