Our school is staffed with fully qualified teachers
who have trained in the UK. Many of our staff have worked
at the school for a number of years providing continuity
and stability. However, we also have a number of staff
members who have recently joined us bringing with them
experience of recent curriculum development. We have
specialist French, Music, PE and Library teachers, a
school nurse and qualified nursery assistants.
All our staff are very experienced in working with
children who arrive in Brussels from countries other
than Britain. Children who speak little or no English
are helped to integrate quickly into the school community
and make friends. We have a specialist EAL teacher available
for those who require intense language teaching.
The skills and experience of our staff assist our
Special Educational Needs children and their families
to access the UK mainstream curriculum. Our SEN coordinator
is highly experienced and is currently working with
a small number of children to ensure their specific
needs are identified and met.
The school nurse is always available to give advice.
She is aware of children with medical conditions (including
allergies) and is willing to administer medication children
may require whilst at school. We have some children
with food allergies and have acted on the advice of
the British
Anaphylaxis Campaign to make our school as safe
as possible for them. For this reason, the school is
a "Nut Free Zone".
The school holds In-service Training days each academic
year allowing all staff to have training in specific
areas of education. This, along with opportunities to
travel to other training centres, enables staff to keep
abreast of new education practice even though we are
based outside the UK.
