It is about creating safe and inspiring local neighbourhoods. Places where people feel safe, happy and proud to live, learn and work alongside one another, where every person is valued and can reach their full potential. In our academy we wish to create a culture of learning within a secure, caring and stimulating environment, where pupils are happy, enthusiastic, motivated and ambitious. We encourage mutual respect, support and collaboration between all adults and pupils, both within the academy and the wider community. This can be done most effectively when all staff, parents and pupils understand their responsibilities and work together towards the same goals.Working Hours :Monday to Friday, 8.00am - 4.00pm, Term-time only.Skills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Team working,Creative,Non judgemental,Patience....Read more...
