Team

Team composition 
The GSV has approximately seventy five (75) teachers. As part of our staffing policy we aim to employ those with an outstanding background in education. Our teachers’ individual qualities and specialisms strengthen and improve the quality of our team and standard of education. We strive to ensure diversity in the make-up of our team, providing a balanced composition with regard to age and gender. 

In addition to class teachers, we invest in specialist teachers for music, English, PE, EAL, Spanish, Dutch, ICT and additional educational needs. Several teachers are specialised and have special functions within the team regarding their specialisation, such as: IPC-coach, English, Diversity, Arts and Culture, etc. Our support staff , including teaching assistants, ICT support, administration, secretary and caretakers are an integral part of our school team.

As a school we pay special attention to the development and training of our teaching staff . This has resulted in our school acquiring the label ‘Investors in People’. Very few primary schools in the Netherlands have obtained this (see page 23, Investors in People).
