SEN Outreach Teacher

Magdalen Court School provides education for approximately 150 pupils with special educational needs. The focus for the school is to support pupils with high levels of anxiety and specific learning difficulties including autism.

Magdalen Court School strives to create an environment where each pupil’s individual strengths, talents and aptitudes are nurtured and developed. It is an inclusive school which works to provide a first-class education that encourages pupils to think independently and to develop their full intellectual, creative and physical potential. Its success is the result of the recognition of the unique worth and importance of each child.

We provide education and support for learners with SEMH needs presenting as high-level anxiety school refusal. Many of our learners are autistic and/ or ADHD. All of our learners will have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) and have needs within all four areas of need.

Our learners' accreditation pathways are varied. Some learners follow a GCSE pathway, others following a mix of GCSE, BTEC, Entry-level and Functional Skills. Some learners follow a more vocational pathway where they have a greater focus on personal development, including increasing their independence skills and preparing them for adulthood.

Some of things that set Court Schools apart from the rest are

• Home Cooking: Opportunities to build sensory confidence, independence, emotional regulation, and healthy routines.

• Outdoor Education: Harnessing the natural environment to reduce anxiety, build resilience, and encourage active learning.

• The blending of the core curriculum with therapies and personal development to engage and develop our learners to be active citizens
