‘Teachers’ high expectations for learning are expressed clearly to students who consistently aim high. EDT May 2018
We believe that our greatest resource is our teachers. They are fully qualified and experienced with a special talent and enthusiasm for teaching using a child-centred approach. Our teachers work together as a team and we use their expertise to provide our children with the highest standards of teaching and learning.
‘The quality of teaching and learning is outstanding in all phases. Teachers consistently provide different levels of challenge and questioning that are very closely matched to students’ individual needs and abilities. Teachers work hard, have high expectations for their students to succeed and are excellent role models.’ May 2018
