The school has recently received a "Good" Ofsted inspection (Feb 2019) and has its Autism Accreditation mark. We are a forward looking and ambitious school.
We are looking to appoint an Occupational Therapy Assistant who is enthusiastic, keen to learn, innovative and would fit in well with an already well-established therapy team.

About Heathermount School
Building confidence & preparing students for life
We are an Independent sepecial school specialising in a broad and balanced education for children and young people aged between 5 and 18 years old with Autistic Spectrum Conditions. We are a well resourced day school with excellent facilities. Located within 14 acres of beautiful grounds in Ascot we make good use of our setting to improve students' well-being. It is a calming environment to help manage anxieties. Our class sizes are small (max 8 in Secondary). Students follow a range of pathways, according to their individual needs and take qualifications ranging from ASDAN and Functional Skills through to Level 2 NVQ/BTEC and GCSEs. Both core and vocational courses are available and students enjoy the opportunity to study business administration, catering and horticulture alongside more traditional subjects.
In summer 2021 we proudly achieved the highly regarded Advanced Autism Accreditation status as well as the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) and Wellbeing Award for Schools (WAS). Our last Ofsted Report in February 2019 concluded that we are a good school with the potential to become outstanding in the near future and this is very much a focus for the whole staff.
Heathermount School is part of the Cavendish Education Group.
