Quote from one of our existing teachers, who joined the staff as an NQT in September 2013:
"Since joining St. Andrew's as an NQT, I have had many exciting professional learning opportunities, both within and outside school. These have included working collaboratively with and learning from the expertise of more experienced staff members through our coaching programme and being actively engaged in research through my Masters and other external research projects.
