About US
Ofsted said (March 2024):
The highly inclusive culture is one of the standout features of Dawley Brook. Pupils who have struggled elsewhere thrive here. Staff identify pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and provide them with the resources and support they need to succeed. For those pupils with higher needs, including those who attended the resource base, the curriculum is adapted well. As a result, these pupils are settled and are making good progress with their learning.
Our children say:
‘It’s a fun school and a happy place.’ ‘We make friends.’ ‘I like being kind and working hard.’ ‘I like learning and playing.’
We are all very proud of the work that children and staff do here and enjoy sharing this through our website, assemblies and workshops.
We are looking for a new member of our team to support children with EHCPs within Oak Tree Class, working alongside our amazing SENDCo, Base Teachers, SEND HLTA and our teaching team of staff.
This post is for a L2 SEND Teaching Assistant (30 hours per week, term time only), 12 months fixed term in the first instance but there may be the opportunity to continue as provision needs as the child's school journey progresses.
We also have a L3 position being advertised at this time. You are welcome to apply for both positions but please state that you are doing so on your application forms.
We welcome applications from new or existing Teaching Assistants who have skills and knowledge of supporting learners with SEND in the classroom and are happy to commit to their development. It is a fantastic opportunity to be part of an extended SEND team within our inclusive mainstream school.
