- Excellent opportunities for professional development and clear pathways for career progression.
- High levels of support to enhance your teaching practice, including collaborative work with Pioneer Special School in Basildon.

- A culture where we want our pupils to be excited about coming to school and to truly love learning, feeling motivated and challenged every day. We achieve this by building precisely on what our pupils already know and can do.
