Unlocking Potential in Our Young People
We celebrate the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we recognize the importance of achieving huge small victories. These may seem small on the surface, but they add up to make a significant difference.
You'll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Your role will involve helping them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. This requires resilience and dedication, but the positive steps forward you achieve will be truly rewarding.
We offer all the support you need to succeed, from in-house psychologists to teaching assistants and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be experts in their field, and our school environments will be well-resourced, providing you with everything you need to build a fulfilling teaching career.
About Us
A key aspect of our approach is the transformative effect of our schools, consistently witnessed by parents, carers, and professionals alike. Our strong ethos of 'high expectations and aspirations for every child' has led to recent outstanding ratings from Ofsted.
All school staff work collaboratively to ensure each pupil not only develops academically but also emotionally and personally. This whole-school commitment enables pupils with ADHD, ASD, Asperger's, or SEMH to grow into capable and confident young people who want to succeed.
What We Offer

* Holiday: Enjoy full school holidays as a reward for your hard work.
