What the school offers its staff

As a relational school, we pride ourselves on our calm, friendly and nurturing learning environment and the positive relationships that are fostered between students, staff and parents. We work hard to ensure our students' experience is founded on our five core values which were identified and defined by students and are also linked to the articles of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): aspiration, community, inclusion, resilience and respect.

Our core values underpin all that we do and we are proud of how highly our students and staff value these. As a relationship driven school, there is a true sense of community here; Trafalgar School is a place where everyone belongs and all are equally valued.

The talented staff work hard to create an aspirational learning environment for all to enjoy and flourish in.
