Meet the Staff
Staffing
All the teaching staff at King's school hold a recognised teaching qualification. They are fully committed to the Christian ethos of the school. We also employ a variety of specialist teachers to deliver specific aspects of the curriculum; currently they are for Swimming, Dance/Movement, Short Tennis, French, I.C.T, Music and Choral Speaking.
The educational and pastoral development of the children is the responsibility of the class teacher who coordinates and liaises with both parents and the specialist teachers. This ensures that a child's overall progress is monitored and accurately reported and each child enjoys a secure, consistent relationship with his / her teacher.
