Teacher

We are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic and innovative teacher with strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to achieving high standards who can teach a range of subjects, primarily English (roughly 50%).

The successful candidate will have a strong academic background, be an excellent classroom practitioner who is capable of inspiring and motivating students and have experience of working with children with special educational needs (please note this does not need to be within a special school setting). We welcome applications from Early Careers teachers.

The majority of our students are working at a KS1 and KS2 level with a small number studying GCSEs in English, Maths and Art.

Working in a special school is extremely rewarding and our students continue to amaze us on a daily basis with their attitudes, achievements and behaviour. We welcome you to come and meet us and see our fantastic students and staff in action prior to placing your application.
