Job overview
The role in a nutshell
As a teacher within the Trust, you will have the opportunity to reach out and be a mentor and a role model for children who need the guidance and support that your qualifications and experience will bring to the role.
Classrooms and teachers are learning how to collaborate with our children to secure the very best outcomes they deserve by creating beautiful and important work that they can share with peers and their families.
Suppose nothing makes you happier and more fulfilled than seeing children discover their passion, and experience success in learning, or come to understand the importance of perseverance. You will bring a deep love of learning and pass that knowledge and passion onto our children every day.
Children with additional needs deserve to be treated the same as all other groups of children. They deserve to have the same opportunities and learn the things that their mainstream peers learn. Our specialist school is seeking a qualified teacher who cares about unique children, is keen to see them doing well, but who will push their limits to succeed.
The candidate
The ideal candidate will be:
· Passionate about complex children and committed to meeting their personal needs.
· Committed to school improvement and raising levels of pupil achievement
· A reflective practitioner, with the ability to plan strategically
· Someone who can demonstrate excellent organisational, communication and inter-personal skills with colleagues and parents/carers
· Will share and support the academy’s ethos, and have energy and commitment to all aspects of academy life
· Focused on high expectations of learning and behaviour
· Committed to inclusion, and have a caring and adaptable approach in supporting children of all abilities
· A good team player and committed to the wider life of the academy
· A suitably qualified teacher, ideally with experience of special educational needs.
You will help children and young people learn and develop the skills and character required to foster confidence, curiosity, creativity and empathy. We believe they will progress with the spirit and character necessary to embrace life’s challenges.
We welcome applications from everyone who believes they meet the expectations of the role regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, or disability. To ensure that our composition of our colleagues is representative of the communities we serve, applications from groups who are currently under-represented in education including people with disabilities and people from minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly encouraged.

Westbury School is a locally maintained special school providing education for pupils who experience social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Pupils are admitted to the school following completion of a Statementing Process and with agreement that placement at the school is appropriate for their needs. Places at Westbury are at a premium within this and other authorities, and there is often a waiting list for pupils requiring full-time educational provision.
The school is designated as a mixed school but currently has only boys on roll. Pupils are aged between 7 and 16 with a total of 46 boys at present. In line with Local Authority expansion plans for the school, this number will continue to rise throughout the year as pupils are gradually admitted, to a full capacity of 55.
The school is subject to regular review of its performance and both previous inspections by OFSTED have resulted in judgements of good with outstanding features.
Pupils experience the full range of the National Curriculum at Key Stages 2, 3 and 4. The school has developed a strong ethos around the Achievement Agenda, and over the last three years, has demonstrated year on year improvements at the end of Key Stage 2 and 3 assessments, with 100% pass rate at GCSE.
The school is a National Support School and the Executive Headteacher is a National Leader of Education designated by the National College for School Leadership. The school is a partner in the Westbury Woodlands Federation and a partner in the Transform Teaching School Alliance.
There has been significant investment in the school financially over the last four years. Curriculum resources are of a high quality and support the extensive curriculum development that has taken place during this period. The buildings are of a high standard, well-maintained and provide an outstanding learning environment. The school has recently completed the development of a second E-learning suite within the school, which we believe will further enhance curriculum and learning opportunities for all of our young people.
There are well-equipped Food Technology, Science and Design Technology rooms and Vocational Education workshops supporting both vehicle technology and construction. Provision for vocational learning is judged to be outstanding. The school has a full-sized Sports Hall on site and a small, newly refurbished, well-equipped fitness suite. This level of investment clearly demonstrates the school’s commitment to its ongoing development.
