Teacher Key Stage 2

Teacher Key Stage 2, Wokingham  

High Close School is a flourishing residential and day special school catering for young people with a complex range of needs. Ofsted has judged education to be 'Good' (Jan '13) and we are now working towards becoming outstanding.

This is an exciting opportunity for a well-motivated teacher who is:

• An excellent classroom practitioner
• Creative in the ways they work with young people
• Calm and patient even in difficult situations
• Able to build positive relationships at all levels
• Wanting to make a difference to the lives of young people.

We are seeking an outstanding and innovative teacher to join our popular and very successful primary unit, which caters for pupils in Key Stage 2. Classes are staffed by a teacher and learning support assistants who work closely together to plan and deliver a creative curriculum that engages pupils and helps them fulfil their potential. There is an emphasis on social and emotional progress as well as academic attainment with some aspects of practice being drawn from the EYFS framework.

Applications are welcome from teachers with either mainstream or special school experience. This is an exciting post with scope for personal and professional development in the future.
