Key staff and expertise

We have a number of teaching assistants who are qualified to deliver the Educational Psychologist Approach to Literacy; members of staff who are trained to teach Success @ Arithmetic. The majority of teaching assistants are trained in delivering Precision Teaching sessions and we also have a bilingual teaching assistant.  Staff are constantly updating their pedagogy to meet the needs of individual children. To achieve this, teachers and support staff attend training courses run by a range of outside agencies.

They include the following:
