Teaching and Learning Lead - Nigel Bowes Academy

Teaching and Learning Lead & Class Teacher (SEND - Primary)

Full-Time, Permanent  - Salary Scale: AAT Main Scale + TLR2 + SEN Allowance + MDSA 

We are seeking to appoint an inspiring and dedicated middle leader to join Nigel Bowes Academy – an outstanding special school for pupils aged 5-11 who present predominantly with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. A significant number of pupils are also on the Autism spectrum and may have other related needs.

Alongside our Vice Principal for Quality of Education the successful candidate will shape Teaching and Learning across the school, ensuring high quality education and outcomes for all our pupils. With direct responsibility for Literacy, and overseeing subject leads, you will share expertise and coordinate training and CPD to support and enhance our broad and balanced curriculum.

Experience of working with pupils with special educational needs is desirable, however, we welcome applications from mainstream colleagues who understand the approaches needed to guide our vulnerable young people towards success.

Along with a calm, supportive and purposeful working environment, we can offer you:

- A full induction programme and support mentor

- Bespoke training programmes with dedicated time given to this, including an e-Library to support self-study

- Free eye test and glasses vouchers for VDU users

- Access to our Wellbeing provision including a free counselling service for you and your immediate family
