We want all to be safe; enjoy a happy childhood, good physical and mental health; and achieve educationally.

We can offer the successful candidate:

• the chance to lead and work with a highly dedicated and professional team;
• a welcoming, friendly and caring ethos;
• an environment in which children are safe,happy, confident and enjoy learning;
