The teachers & SNAs are amazing, they teach not only academics, but communication & life skills, they bring out the best in every child by tapping into their individual strengths while creating an environment of kindness & inclusion. They are great at sharing moments of pride, their good behaviours & achievements but in a very respectful & approachable manner.
