If you are a dedicated teacher, able to form excellent educational relationships with students, we would love to hear from you The Priory Learning Trust (Somerset Business Award winner for Employer of the Year) is looking to recruit a Primary Teacher for our ELP (Enhanced Learning Provision) to work at The King Alfred School - An Academy, rated 'Good' by Ofsted November 2022. A secondary school at the heart of the community, where we believe it is our role to develop the next generation into successful citizens. The transition to secondary school from primary school represents a significant shift in environment for all children, but particularly so for those identified as having Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). An ELP sits within a mainstream secondary school and delivers tailored and high-quality teaching to pupils with SEND who are working at KS1 curriculum levels or who may have other identified needs which makes them more vulnerable than their peers at transition. An ELP uses skilled teachers with additional training and experience and small groups to maximise achievement and progress primarily in core subjects, while supporting these pupils to access the wider mainstream curriculum alongside their peers. The King Alfred School Academy is a happy school where staff and students enjoy working together. We provide a calm purposeful learning environment where all students are supported and encouraged to ‘do their best’. Our ethos is strong with core values of respect, tolerance and courtesy.
