Staff

Every member of staff is essential to the school team.

Running a school is a complex business! As well as the class teachers and support teachers, we have a learning support team, under the supervision of the Special Needs and Disabilities Coordinator, and a Learning Mentor who help us provide personalised learning to suit the needs of all our children. Then there is the luncthime team, and of course, our administration team.

In addition to all of our employees, we have a site management team, based at Claremont Special School on our campus, and led by Dave Galliers. Our catering is provided by Edwards and Ward, and the kitchen staff are led by our cook, Sharon Sealey.

Learning Support


Administration

Our administrative team not only provides the first point of communication for parents and visitors, but also offers valuable support to teachers, taking on such routine tasks as photocopying and preparing lesson resources, in order to enable teachers to spend their planning and assessment time on just that, while maintaining a reasonable work-life balance.
