*All planning provided, with flexibility to tailor lessons
*Support from specialist Maths and English teachers who will cover some lessons
*Consistently small class sizes (3–5 students)
*Daily breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided for staff
*A strong emphasis on staff wellbeing and work-life balance, promoted by the Headteacher
