Senior Teachers
Each teacher is assigned to a Senior Teacher, who acts as a mentor, looks after them and provides them with support and assistance.
Teachers receive regular feedback to help with their development. The Senior Teacher observes the teacher’s classes, meets with them to go through feedback, and also passes on any feedback we receive from students. Each teacher has an Individual Development Plan to set up tasks and goals for teaching skills they would like to work on.
