Baginton Fields is a well-respected Maintained Special School for students aged between 11 - 19 years who have a broad range of moderate, severe or profound learning difficulties.

• Demonstrate a creative approach to teaching and problem solving.
• Have high expectations for pupils, the staff team and yourself.
• Be a strategic thinker who will work alongside the Headteacher to provide challenge and support in order to implement positive change.
• Be good humoured, innovative, enthusiastic, energetic, self-motivated and thrive on responsibility.

In return we offer:

• A friendly and welcoming environment where pupils care about one another and are enthusiastic learners.

• Continuous Professional Development within a supportive team.
