Our Staff
No one forgets a great teacher, and our school’s success is based on professionalism and the formal yet friendly relationship between pupils and our teachers. All staff have the interests of every child at heart, both in and out of the classroom.
Our teachers are specialists in their subjects, who work in departments with a senior colleague as Head of Department with overall responsibility. Each school year group is split into forms, with their own form teacher. Parents are encouraged to keep in regular touch with this teacher by phone or email to discuss their child's development.
The Head of Year, a teacher well known to pupils and parents, deals with key matters such as discipline, uniform and punctuality.
