STAFF LIST
STAFF
Vandyke employs 79 teachers and 60 support staff. The
staff are well-qualified, friendly and caring. This is not just
our view. Each year, the school sends out an anonymous
questionnaire to a random sample of parents asking for
their views on the school. "From the start you feel a warm
and friendly welcome", and "Teaching staff do their utmost
to assist students", are two fairly typical examples of the
comments made by parents.
The school is able to recruit such strong staff, because it
enjoys a high reputation within the education world for its
curriculum development work, facilities, in-service training
programme and for its genuine commitment to
comprehensive education. Hence, competition for posts
at Vandyke is generally strong and experience gained at
Vandyke is often a stepping-stone to further promotion.
The strong support that staff at Vandyke enjoy is
evidenced through the outcomes of our Annual Survey now in its eighteenth year.
