Job overview

A once-in-a-lifetime chance to shape teaching, learning, pupil progress and inclusion in a three times-outstanding special school in a brand new building with excellent facilities. Please read the personal message from the Headteacher on the TES website!

Stormont House School is an unusual and widely-respected special school whose pupils achieve up to GCSE/BTEC levels. We had our third ‘outstanding’ inspection in March 2014. This position will play a vital part in leading us towards our vision of ‘Achievement for All in a Unique World-Class School’. If you are a first-class teacher and passionate about the difference an excellent school can make to young people’s ability to learn, express themselves and become active global citizens, please get in touch.

We offer a diverse and vibrant curriculum, including the National Curriculum, which is tailored to meet pupils’ needs by exciting, supporting and challenging them. We expect our pupils to make the best progress possible; socially, emotionally and academically.

We set out to combine the very positive aspects of primary education with the specialist subjects of secondary in order to provide the best quality education possible.

We offer the full range of National Curriculum subjects at Key Stage 3, with a strong focus on both creativity and access skills such as Literacy, which is taught as well as English. Students achieve a wide range of accreditation at Key Stage 4 and we opened our innovative Sixth Form programme in September 2014.

Please look at the uploaded documents and ring the Headteacher, Kevin McDonnell on (020) 8985 4245 for an informal discussion about the position. Don’t worry if you don’t have special school experience: very few of us did before we came here!

School visits on the mornings of Wednesday 29 April (afternoon) and Thursday 30 April (morning). Please call Brenda Vanriel on 020 8985 4245 to book a space.
