The school is focused on nurturing a safe, friendly, and purposeful atmosphere built on respect, positive behaviour, and strong achievement with high aspirations for every child.

There is a dedicated and committed leadership team and there are good opportunities for professional development

To be considered for this role, you must:

  • Have experience working with children with SEND, ideally autism.
  • Be proactive, resilient, and able to build positive relationships with pupils.
  • Be committed to supporting a child's personal, social, and academic growth.
