We require a full time Classroom Teacher to work with students with moderate and complex learning difficulties.

We are proud of our supportive, nurturing environment and our commitment to providing high-quality education tailored to the unique needs of every student.

We are seeking one passionate, resilient, and enthusiastic Class Teacher to join our school community. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a school that works collaboratively to empower our pupils with lifelong skills and enables our young people to reach the highest levels of independence in adult life.

Once this is opened in September 2025, we will gradually expand to have around 300 pupils on the ‘Royal Lane’ site. The next project is a Satellite Unit based in Harefield village, called ‘Northwood Road’. This will house up to 100 Key Stage 3 and 4 Pathway 1 pupils and should be ready for us to occupy in the 2025-26 academic year.
