As our primary school is growing year on year and in response to the impact of the pandemic we have a new role available to support children further in achieving their learning outcomes.

We are a vibrant and thriving learning environment, which has just undergone a huge redevelopment programme providing us with space and opportunities for all.
Our primary children work at least 3-4 years away from age-related expectations and all pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan covering a range of complex learning difficulties, including speech and language difficulties, autism and/or medical needs. Our models of learning mean that our children are based in mixed aged groups of 10-12 children.
We are a “can do” organisation and we want innovation and enthusiasm to help us continue to develop our provisions with us and drive forward our high standards. You will be a confident and adaptable individual who is ready to become part of our community. We have a track record of supporting staff through to teaching and beyond. We need team players and individuals that embrace change and see it as an opportunity.

• Keen and eager children who are learning how to learn and ultimately love learning
• Friendly and support staff, parents and governors
• Varied curriculum and development opportunities
• Amazing environments in which children really thrive
