In addition, the school runs a successful Extended Services provision from its Community Space for Sports and Arts.
Our committed and highly skilled staff work in a challenging but rewarding and supportive environment.
Candidates must be enthusiastic, flexible, and comfortable working with children who are vulnerable and who can challenge. Additional training will be provided for working with/supporting children who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, ASD and complex needs.
