Job Overview

Brunswick Park Primary School is successful and ambitious for its children, providing values-based education with personal development at its heart.

Our vision is:

Learning for living through respect, support and challenge

Whilst our academic standards are high and children make good progress from their starting points, we believe that it is personal qualities that make successful members of society. Parents describe the school as being ‘like a family’, with a strong sense of community (Ofsted January 2025), where children are given the care, guidance and support they need to learn.

Brunswick Park is Resource Based for pupils with autism (ASD/C) with 14 places from Reception – Year 6 for diagnosed pupils with an EHCP. The provision is over-subscribed.

Ofsted recognises that SEND is a strength, and you can read the full report HERE:

The school ensures that pupils in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision) receive an ambitious curriculum. Wherever possible, these pupils attend mainstream classes, educational outings and socialise with their peers. Staff working in the provision build strong and caring relationships with these pupils and ensure that they are safe and happy. When in mainstream classes, pupils with SEND are typically well supported so that they can access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
