Aspire Academy is currently entering an exciting new phase in its development. Aspire Academy is an outstanding school that is able to provide holistic education incorporating high quality therapeutic and academic support. We are very excited that as a result of this outstanding provision we have recently expanded our numbers by an additional three classes.
We are therefore seeking an experienced practitioner with a background in primary teaching and supporting children with complex SEN to take up the post of teacher delivering high quality education to our learners. You may be already working in a special school or in a mainstream setting but keen to work in specialist provision. You would be joining a skilled team of teaching and support staff in providing high quality learning for our students. This is an opportunity for an experienced and skilled practitioner to make a real difference to children’s lives. A proven interest in managing challenging behaviour alongside evidence of securing successful academic outcomes are essential requirements. If you have enthusiasm, commitment and a desire to work with some of the most vulnerable and complex young people in our community, we would welcome your application. High aspirations and a relentless approach towards excellence are the key skills we are looking for along with evidence of previous outstanding classroom teaching. A willingness to be involved in developing extra-curricular activities and the wider curriculum would be an advantage.
For further information and an informal conversation about the roles, contact Heather Hopkins or Julie Arkwright, on 02083041320. Visits to the school encouraged.

About Aspire Academy Bexley
This small special school caters for primary-age children with social, emotional and/or behavioural needs. We promote inclusion in the widest sense, supporting pupils and their families to access the best possible education and prepare them for transition at every stage.
Many of our pupils have had negative experiences of mainstream school, so we work hard to ensure they are safe, happy and able to reach their full potential. Our specialist team does this by encouraging the children to form meaningful relationships and develop the emotional resilience needed to overcome barriers and challenges.
We work hard to make sure learning is both engaging and relevant. As well as a focus on core literacy and numeracy skills, we ensure that our pupils have the opportunity to experience a wide range of activities both inside and outside the classroom. This includes regular trips, sports clubs and forest school through to science workshops, Children’s University and School Council meetings.
Our curriculum is creative, rich and offers challenge at all levels. It covers the full National Curriculum and, where appropriate, pupils access national tests (such as SATS and phonics screening) in line with mainstream school settings.
Wellbeing and achievement are at the centre of our approach. Staff encourage pupils to embrace opportunities and become productive members of our local community – with high aspirations and ambition for their futures.
