Meet our Staff
The quality of our staff is the main reason that Newington Green has improved so rapidly over the past few years. Our staff are recruited through highly rigorous processes that ensure they are of a standard we expect at Newington Green.
You will find our staff to be warm, friendly and committed when you visit our school. Don’t be surprised to see us being very strict, or laughing out loud! Both these elements fit firmly within our values of aiming high, accepting no excuses, but also caring and having fun!
