The Head Teacher, Sheema Parsons, holds an honours degree in education, specialising in Infant Teaching, with twenty years experience. The other members of staff hold either a teaching degree, Montessori or N.N.E.B. qualifications.

Ofsted's assessment of the quality of teaching concluded: "Through their obvious enjoyment and enthusiasm, staff motivate the children. They have created a relaxed, calm and friendly atmosphere where children seek out further answers and are sufficiently confident to make mistakes. Their warmth ensures a ready response from children. In their interaction with children with small groups and individual, staff question appropriately, giving time for children to consider their replies. …..This is an established staff team who work well together, supporting each other and setting clear expectations for good behaviour and participation and children respond well. Children treat each other and their toys with care and consideration.”

“Girls and boys have good opportunities to take part in all activities. Staff ensure that all children are involved. Through their records they identify whether children are having broad and balanced experiences or if they need more encouragement to join in activities. Staff provide sensitive support for all children. Planned activities and teaching ensure equality of opportunity particularly for language an literacy and mathematics. The high staff ratio and objectives set for children ensure skills are extended in more focused activities."
