Mrs Paula Jackson is a qualified teacher and provides PPA release in our Reception Class as well as teaching our Y1 children in the morning. 

Lancashire Teaching Agency (Reed) will be used to provide a supply teacher if we are unable to provide cover internally; the agency attempt to send staff who have been to the school before.
