Teams
Our school is divided into teaching teams, each with its own leader.  These teams operate as semi-autonomous schools and accept the challenge of:  
  • Allowing students to be taught and well known by 3 or 4 teachers
  •  Nurturing the warmth and family atmosphere of the small school
  • Solving problems in different ways - scope for experimenting
  • Planning together in manageable group
"Staff are empowered by being involved in the decision making and school development".     ERO
