• Appropriate qualifications and training for the responsibilities of the post.
  

Higher rates reflect substantial relevant teaching experience and qualifications. Pay follows school expectations and AWR, where applicable.

Help children develop the strong foundations and confidence that support their wider primary education.

We support teachers and school support staff through attentive service and professional development, offering:

• A dedicated consultant providing ongoing support and guidance.
