Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There are lots of ups and downs, and for some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories, and while they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.
Get out what you put in
You’ll be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You’ll help them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. You will need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge small victories will be something you’re really proud of.
It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll receive all the support you need to succeed, including in-house psychologists, teaching assistants, and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be highly skilled, the school environments well-resourced, and we’ll support you every step of the way to build a rewarding teaching career.
One of the best environments in SEND
The transformational effect of Avon Park School is recognized by parents, carers, and professionals. The school’s ability to connect and engage with pupils stems from its strong ethos of “high expectations and aspirations for every child,” and it has recently achieved an Outstanding rating by Ofsted.
All staff, including teaching, pastoral, and therapy teams, work collaboratively to ensure each pupil develops academically, emotionally, and personally. This ‘whole school’ approach helps pupils with ADHD, ASD, Asperger’s, or SEMH grow into capable and confident young people who aspire to succeed.
