Meet the team...

At Stella Maris we believe there’s no substitute for experience. That’s why we only employ experienced teachers, why each one has spent many years in the classroom, and why the average length of teaching experience in our school is fifteen years! Our whole team is first aid trained and carries approved CRB checks.

Carefully chosen for their ability to provide children with the good basic core skills that will help them to reach their full potential when they ultimately progress to grammar school, all teaching staff subscribe to our belief in creating a teaching environment that’s rich in care, support, opportunity and traditional values.
