• Can ensure a calm and positive approach, have high expectations of learning and behaviour as well as inspire and motivate our children.
• Be patient, supportive, nurturing and understanding.
• As well as being able to develop strong relationships and communicate well with parents, carers and members of staff and someone who brings with them a good sense of humour!
