Headteacher

Our mission is to work within London communities to transform the life chances of marginalised children and young people who have social, emotional and mental health needs.

This year we will be opening a special primary school for children with social, emotional and mental health needs. Our school will deliver exceptional multi-disciplinary education and therapeutic support to children who have social, emotional & mental health needs. We will work in close partnership with parents and families, to develop personalised, dynamic support for every child in our school community. Our model involves a commitment from parents to participate regularly in the personalised family curriculum which is agreed for each child.

This is a unique opportunity for an inspirational educator and leader to set up the school as founding headteacher, leading a dedicated team of teachers, therapists and learning support assistants. You will have the opportunity to design a school model which meets social, emotional and mental health needs using innovative, multi-disciplinary approaches. You will be supported by a highly experienced and supportive executive team and board, who will champion you and the school and ensure that we are well placed to deliver excellent schooling to our children.
