The school prides itself on delivering a highly personalised, therapeutic approach to learning, enabling every child to reach their full potential.
As a Primary Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons that meet the individual needs of your pupils.

- Experience teaching within a primary setting.
- A passion for supporting children with additional needs and helping them achieve their potential.
- Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills.
- A patient, resilient, and adaptable approach to teaching.
- Previous experience within SEND, SEMH, or specialist education is desirable but not essential.
