Our Team for 2023 - 2024
At John Stainer Primary, we are really fortunate to have a hugely diverse staff team - we are a family of many people. John Stainer Primary is a special place and we pride ourselves in making the environment a safe place to be what and who you need to be, with nurture and personal development feeding through the education we provide. At John Stainer, it is about more than classroom based ‘education and learning’.
Leaders Like Us
We are excited to have two of our staff members registered for the Leaders Like us programme. This is a multi-faceted programme for aspiring senior leaders from UK Global Majority Heritage backgrounds, throughout the country, with the aim of enabling them to progress to headship. It is open to teachers and leaders in all English schools. You can find out more information by visiting the Leaders Like Us site. The initial cohort is around 30 leaders and so it is brilliant that leaders in our school are apart of this.
