Class Teacher (ASN x 2)

Sanderson’s Wynd Primary School currently has 14 classes, P1 – P7 and 2 classes in The Hub, ELC provision for pupils with severe and complex needs. The school has a 60:60 place nursery which supports 8 pupils with severe and complex needs. There is also provision for up to 4 children aged 2 years. An After School Club, Wraparound Care, Home Start and a community wing are on site. Due to increased pupil numbers we will require 3 classes in the Hub from August 2017. An interest in working with children with Autism would be an advantage when applying for these positions as many of our pupils have a diagnosis of autism as well as their severe and complex needs. We welcome visits to the Hub by appointment and would be happy to spend time talking about the proposed organisation for the coming academic year.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a totally inclusive environment with a highly motivated and enthusiastic team of professionals.
