Our Staff
Our teachers are a dedicated, skilled group who have expertise and qualifications in the education of children with special needs.
Our teaching staff are supported by Learning Support Assistants (Staffing ratios in each class is determined by the numbers and needs of the pupils.) The Learning Support Assistants support the learning, care and needs of the children.
