A fantastic opportunity for an innovative, creative, courageous and resilient Key Stage 2 practitioner to grow, nurture and lead learning for KS2 pupils in a unique special school in an ethnically diverse inner-city area.
Pathways School is a special school for pupils with social, emotional, behavioural and mental health needs, with a therapeutic approach. The school caters for pupils from Year 2 to Post 16 as we grow; with pupils from Upper Key Stage 2 to Year 11 currently on roll. As we grow our pupil numbers and our staff team, we are now looking to recruit a Secondary English Teacher to join the Pathways team.
The school is part of Eko Trust in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, in East London. The school is undergoing a transition and will be moving to a brand new, purpose-built site in 2022. This will include great facilities including training rooms, therapy rooms, great technology and a sixth form.
The ideal candidate will have successful experience of leading teaching at Key stage 2 in either a special or mainstream education setting, as we are just as keen to encourage applications from candidates with a relevant mainstream background as those with special school experience. The candidate will lead the teaching and learning for a mixed KS2 class of SEND pupils with SEMH. They will have proven impact of outcomes at year 6, high quality teaching and an ability to demonstrate the Teacher Standards to an impressive level. The candidate will need to have a creative, flexible and innovate approach to tailor and personalise the learning experiences for a range of KS2 pupils from year 3 to year 6.
The successful person will be supported in post by our trust leadership which ensures our:
● schools are vibrant, multi cultural centres of learning
● pupils achieve highly
● pupils are happy and love actively learning
● pupils leave with the resilience and motivation to continue their successful learning
● community are proud of our schools and excited by what we can achieve together

About Pathways School
Pathways is a new all-through special school for pupils with severe Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties, who, for a variety of reasons find mainstream school challenging to manage. The school is part of the Eko Trust family of schools. As an Eko School there is a focus on innovating practice and inspiring teachers and support staff by collaborating with staff from other schools. Eko Trust is now a group of 6 schools, 2 of which are SEMH settings.
The vision for the Trust is “Every member of our community is empowered to learn, to be ambitious and to be resilient”. Eko Trust Schools collaborate to achieve world class outcomes for our children, young people and families; develop flexible, innovative approaches to learning to build our centres of excellence; invest in high quality support and development across diverse schools and support and challenge each other in an inclusive environment.
The school provides full time places for pupils. The school’s vulnerable families are directed to the school by the Local Authority who believe that Pathways School will be the best in the local area at supporting the needs of the families and pupils. Most pupils have underlying complex special needs including speech, language and communication difficulties and increasing numbers, particularly among the older pupils, have mental health problems. All pupils have or are in the process of being assessed to have Education Health and Care (EHC) plans issued.
The school is dedicated to partnership working, with parents/carers, mainstream schools, other education providers, and a range of other agencies involved with young people with SEMH needs. This commitment to the social inclusion of our pupils aims to address the severe social, emotional and mental health difficulties presented, the challenges their families face and the subsequent attendance issues that manifest themselves.
