This is a structured, values-led school with clear behaviour systems and strong leadership. Staff work collaboratively and expectations for both pupils and adults are high. The school has a proactive approach to SEND, with clear support plans and regular communication between teachers, SENCO and support staff.

  • Be confident working within clear routines and behaviour systems

  • Remain calm and consistent under pressure

  • Communicate effectively with teaching staff and parents

  • Be committed to long-term impact rather than short-term support

Experience supporting pupils with ASD, ADHD, or social, emotional and mental health needs would be advantageous.

  • Strong leadership and visible SLT support

  • Ongoing CPD and SEND training

  • A collaborative and professional staff team
