Job overview
Salary Range: MPS/UPS
Nailsea School is seeking to employ a full time, permanent teacher to work with students in our Resource Base (‘Hub’) at Nailsea School. Applications are welcome from candidates with experience of Primary, Secondary or Special School settings. Experience of successfully working with students diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder would be advantageous.
This provision at Nailsea opened in September 2017 and provides a smaller working environment for students who may find the challenges of a full mainstream curriculum overwhelming for a variety of reasons. The aim of the Resource Base is for students to successfully transition to mainstream classes during their time at Nailsea. In September 2020 there will be a year 7, 8, 9 and 10 group (between 5 and 10 students in each year) accessing this provision. The base has caused a great deal of interest within North Somerset and it is an exciting time to become part of this development as our first cohort will be starting their GCSE studies in September.
The successful candidate will work full time (32.5 hours) and will teach students part of their Hub curriculum. The teaching and subjects allocated to the role would be discussed once the 2020/21 timetable is finalised.
Nailsea School aims to achieve excellence for all students, through outstanding teaching and learning and is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated teacher to an already nurturing and supportive Hub team.
The successful candidate will consistently:
Deliver good and outstanding teaching with pace and sufficient challenge
Support the team in its aims to continually improve progress and student outcomes for the students accessing this provision
Show a willingness to implement changes and developments in the curriculum
Create a fun, supportive and high performing learning environment
Support the school ethos at all times
Be an imaginative and forward thinking classroom practitioner
Possess excellent behaviour management skills

About Nailsea School
Our School
Nailsea School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form. Situated less than 10 miles from Bristol it enjoys the benefits of a small town whilst being on the doorstep of one of the U.K.’s most prosperous, vibrant and creative cities. Nailsea School is a community that demonstrates a common purpose - to ensure the very best for each and everyone of their students.
At Nailsea School all students are valued and each individual is encouraged to be the best version of themselves: to Aspire, Believe and Succeed.
The Whole Child
The change from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and we believe that confidence, happiness and strong communication skills form the foundations for success. Our in-school pastoral team advise and nurture the whole child, offering support with social skills, peer problems, anxiety, home or academic issues. Experts in safeguarding, counselling and mentoring work alongside our Heads of House and tutors to support students well-being. The House structure’s vertical tutor groups integrate year groups and encourages peer to peer learning and support. This leads to strong friendships, confident relationships between groups and a comfortable family base from which students thrive. Feedback from a dynamic student voice programme connecting the whole school, reveals students to be happy and flourishing. We are proud of the behaviour of our students and visitors often remark on the studious, calm atmosphere within the school. Staff and students work together to ensure the effectiveness of rules and behaviour policies around the school create a fair and safe environment for all, with a focus on effort as well as achievement.
A Place for Everyone
Understanding that each child is different, Nailsea School has developed a range of inclusive ways to meet individual needs including a specialist learning centre within the school for students with specific educational needs and disabilities. The Hub is a place where children access a reduced mainstream timetable to improve literacy, numeracy and social skills. The low stress setting of The Hub, within the centre of the school, provides a nurturing environment through Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, and children using this area are encouraged to join in with mainstream life.
Teachers at Nailsea are skilled in adopting and responding to the learning needs of all students and there is also extra support in the form of dedicated Teaching and Learning Support Assistants within lessons for those who experience specific learning difficulties.
Our Facilities
Nailsea School was re-built in 2009 and the space speaks for itself; designed with students in mind, its free-flowing structure makes navigation easy and there is a sense of calm learning throughout the school. As well as benefiting from excellent sporting facilities, including an all-weather pitch, fantastic creative arts facilities with music, TV and art studios, and technology throughout the school, it has excellent ecological credentials. Students can visit the DEN area (Developing Engagement with Nature) where forest school principles are taught. Green technology has been developed throughout the school, the main heating source is through a biomass boiler, we have sensory lighting and use solar panels to heat our water and provide electricity for external lighting. Even the toilets use recycled greywater. Our carbon footprint is improving year on year and we recycle throughout the school.
