We seek to prepare our students to move on to the next stage of their education as successful, confident, resilient young people, who can make a positive difference to society. 

 There is an exciting opportunity to join this flourishing special school, as we are looking for a suitably qualified and experienced teacher with a specialism in English who is able to oversee the curriculum from Years 4 to 11.

·       Have the character and confidence to inspire both pupils and colleagues.

·       Be prepared to get involved in every aspect of school life, including outdoor and active learning experiences.
