Over the last two years we have been developing a range of enhanced onsite provisions that aim to support a particular area of need. This, our newest provision, will cater for pupils with significant cognitive and learning difficulties whilst providing them with access to a rich curriculum within a mainstream setting.

You will be working with a small class of year 7 students, delivering literacy and numeracy teaching to them every day. You will also teach some foundation subjects through topic work for them during the afternoons. In addition, these students will have daily access to our school farm.

The role is open to applicants from both primary and secondary colleges who have the relevant experience to deliver the fundamental building blocks of reading, writing and math's. The young people in the provision are likely to be working at around KS1 levels for much of their time in school.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone to be innovative, dynamic and to put fresh ideas into practice in this popular, thriving school. Our high expectations positively reinforce the highest standards of learning and behaviour at all times and encourage students to show respect for themselves, others, and the world around them.

The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher and will have the advantage of :

  • Working alongside our highly committed, professional and dedicated team
  • Excellent support packages for NQTs and new staff
  • Outstanding opportunities for CPD

You must have high expectations of yourself, your colleagues and your students and be committed to creating a stimulating learning environment which challenges everyone to achieve the highest standards. You must be highly organised, with the ability to establish effective learning opportunities and deliver outstanding lessons; encouraging our students to be the best they can. If you have the ability to inspire, motivate, challenge and support students to ensure they make good progress - we would like to hear from you.
