Job overview
Ours is a very special school with particularly brilliant pupils. We are a one and a half form entry school which caters for the whole community. The diverse range of pupils reflect our Wapping setting, with families who have links to a huge range of countries across the world. We work hard to teach equality and teamwork and are very proud of our pupils' excellent behaviour and positive attitudes.
The school is based close to the River Thames, a stone's throw away from St Katherine's Docks; the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. We are close to both Tower Hill tube station and Wapping Overground, with good bus links to the rest of Tower Hamlets. We have a large playground (including a Forest School) which has recently been refurbished and the school benefits from local links, including with the Unicorn Theatre as the Tower Hamlets partner school.
Ours is a truly inclusive school. We have very bright and capable pupils, with strong results across the school. We also welcome pupils with additional needs and will soon be opening our specialist provision for pupils with autism.
As a community school, we are committed to serving the local area and our curriculum focuses on extending the national curriculum to get our pupils out and about and making links with their local environment and its residents. We believe that children benefit from, and are inspired by, the opportunity to be creative and are committed to bringing our pupils' learning to life. Curriculum development is a current focus for the school and we are working quickly to bring about some big changes which are further strengthening our offer to our pupils.
We are looking for a dynamic Primary Classroom Teacher to join our new, purpose built ASC Unit. You will have the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of young people with complex needs and autism. Split over two classrooms with additional sensory rooms, the unit supports young people aged between 6 and 11 and delivers an Engagement Model curriculum.
As a creative and passionate teacher, you already have a desire to ensure the best outcomes for every child. This role provides the opportunity to bring your creativity to the classroom.
