Our cleaners play a vital role in making sure our school is a place where children can focus on learning, feel safe, and flourish, and where our colleagues can enjoy a clean, welcoming environment too. By keeping our spaces spotless, you’ll be directly contributing to the health, safety, and success of our whole school community.
