• adopting flexible, creative approaches to meet the needs of all learners
• using current educational thinking to inform their practice
• making good use of professional collaboration in school and beyond

Successful applicants for posts working with children or vulnerable adults will be subject to disclosure checks or the new PVG scheme. 

Applicants are encouraged to be explicit in detailing their skills, experience and attributes that they can bring to this post.
