• Delightful children who value the relationships built between them and adults within the school
• The opportunity to further improve and develop within your role and beyond, learning from and with others alongside comprehensive CPD opportunities

• Resilient – demonstrates the ability to prioritise workload, work to specific deadlines and seek the support of others when needed
• Reflective – is open-minded, self-evaluative and adaptable to changing circumstances and new ideas
