ARP Lead Teacher

Eastbrook Primary is part of an all-through school in Dagenham. In Autumn 2021 we opened a new ARP for 12 pupils with ASC. This has now risen to 25. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and experienced practitioner to be the lead teacher within the school’s resource provision.

The successful candidate will have the vision, creativity and experience to lead the ARP (known as ‘Apollo’), with the support of the Inclusion Leader. You must have a clear understanding and experience of effective teaching and learning as well as raising and sustaining achievement especially within ASC provision. You must be a strong communicator and team player and able to engage effectively with the children, their families and staff.

We are currently concluding works both inside and out, to provide first class facilities for our ARP pupils.

We would like to hear from you if you:
