The most important 'teaching resource' in any school is the staff team. We remain very proud of the team we have in our school and we are delighted with the feedback we receive from a range of sources.
'Fantastically warm and welcoming... Leaders foster positive relationships with parents and staff. Staff feel valued. They say leaders are conscious of their workload and support their well-being. (Ofsted, December 2022)
'If you are offered an opportunity of a teaching placement at Tudor Primary, you take it!' (University of Hertfordshire, 2020)

NQTs and ECTs
The school works closely with the University of Hertfordshire and many of the present teachers started their teaching careers as Newly qualified Teachers (NQTs) at Tudor. Whilst the terminology has changed (NQTs are now ECTs- Early Career Teachers), our commitment to ensuring that teachers here are supported effectively is a key part of our success. In fact, as we tell the children, we never stop learning! A number of our teaching staff have also gone on to leadership positions in other schools- we are a team that strives to give the children our BEST!
