We are committed to fostering a learning environment that encourages and celebrates continuous professional development (CPD), as we believe that a love for learning begins with our staff.
The school’s strength is its community: our staff, who are professional, passionate, and brilliantly collegiate; our pupils, who are inquisitive, challenging learners with a spring in their step, and our parents, who are hugely supportive, appreciative, and ambitious.

Many of our Gap Assistants will work for one or two terms, although those available to work a full academic year (i.e. three terms) may be prioritised.
The ideal candidates will be responsible and organised and have the ability to work supportively with our children.
