We currently have a staff of 23 teachers, 36 support staff including teaching assistants, specialist and leading teachers, plus admin and other support staff personnel.
This means our current staff covers a wealth of knowledge and experience from new teaching assistants and teachers to those with experience in this school and others. This brings a vibrancy and energy to the team at Clara Grant where the children’s progress is paramount.
