3. No Barriers – no excuses, only support to ensure young people, staff, leaders, governors and trustees maximise the academic achievement of learners whilst enabling them to develop and flourish as well rounded individuals

We are seeking to offer casual work to a highly professional Minibus Driver who will safely transport our students and colleagues to and from a variety of locations, ensuring the safety of passengers and other road users at all times.
