The Senior Management at the school is committed to school student growth, further educational improvement, and ensuring best British practice is found in all school procedures and policies.
Staff are happy and well supported by a dedicated senior and middle leadership management structure, where professional development is encouraged and staff are mentored. Staff wellbeing is always considered a priority from the moment that SLT greet new staff at the airport on their first arrival. Wellbeing at the school has been highlighted by this year’s school inspectorate as being a particular strength of the school. Staff professional development includes supporting staff on NPQLT and NPQSL courses.
