Westfield Infant School is an inclusive mainstream infant school situated in Hinckley, Leicestershire. We are also home to a Resource Base for children with a range of needs. We have a fantastic staff team and a supportive parent/carer community. We offer a high quality, well-resourced and carefully structured provision, within an excellent broad and balanced curriculum. We strive to meet the needs of all children, going above and beyond to help children fulfil their potential and we are proud to hold the IQM Flagship status.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our wonderful Specialist Resource Base within our inclusive mainstream Infant school. Our 24 place Resource Base aims to provide supportive education for pupils with communication and interaction needs, helping them to prepare for the next stage of their education. Pupils accessing the base will have the advantages of small-class specialist provision, tailored to young people with Special Educational Needs. Importantly, the post holder will be passionate, creative and motivated to help all our children achieve and succeed.
We focus on quality inclusion, so where possible we seek to integrate our Base provision into the wider life of our friendly three-form-entry mainstream school, giving all children a broad, balanced, engaging, ambitious and nurturing provision.
