About the school:
Pupils enjoy learning at this delightful school, situated in a beautiful/ rural setting. Staff make sure that new subject content is interesting, engaging and relevant. At the same time, they are clear about what they want pupils to learn and remember. Staff have increasingly high expectations of what pupils should achieve. Pupils respond well and make good progress. Staff provide excellent care for pupils. They understand pupils' needs and know how best to support them. Pupils know where to go for help when they need it, trusting staff to deal with problems when they arise. The school deals appropriately with bullying and other inappropriate behaviours. Pupils are safe in school. The school places a strong emphasis on helping pupils to talk about their feelings. Therefore a candidate with experience in counselling, trauma support and Social Emotional Mental Health is ideal to make progress within the school.

This helps pupils to better understand their emotions and manage their own behaviour. The school is usually a calm place where pupils can learn. Incidents of challenging behaviour do occur, but staff manage these effectively. The staff form a dedicated and hard-working team. They appreciate the headteacher and senior leaders, and the many improvements they have brought about in recent times.
