Who's Who -Pwy yw Pwy

We are very fortunate at Coryton Primary to have a highly motivated and skilled group of colleagues. All staff are committed to ensuring that our children have the best learning experiences possible during their time with us. 

If you have any queries or concerns, please feel free to raise them with us. Any of our staff will do their very best to help you. If the class teacher is not able to talk to you immediately they will make arrangements to call or meet with you as soon as they can. 

All of our teachers are qualified to degree standards with QTS (Qualified Teaching Status) and all of our teaching assistants have suitable qualifications, training and experience to work with your children.
