Meet our Staff

"Teachers use their expert subject knowledge to support and extend pupils’ thinking. They give clear, interesting explanations and make highly effective use of examples. They insist on pupils using precise vocabulary. As a result, pupils are highly motivated to improve their own knowledge."
