We are committed to providing a learning environment where all our children feel happy, valued, motivated, included and strive to do their best.

The Governors and Executive Head teacher are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, self-motivated and creative INA to join our supportive and friendly team, to assist with the implementation of an EHCP in support of a pupil with complex medical needs.

This position is to support SAL and medical needs and it is vital to fully read the job description and supporting documents before applying.
