• Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues
• A reflective approach to teaching and a genuine enthusiasm for ongoing professional development
• An appreciation of the opportunities and rewards of working in a small, community-focused school

What is in it for me?

• A collaborative, friendly team and supportive leadership, including engaged Governors who care about your success
