  • About The Role

  • Due to expansion of our EYFS phase in September 2026 we have vacancies within this Phase and across other phases of our school.   This is an exciting opportunity to join our collaborative and ambitious teaching team.

    We offer a comprehensive and bespoke CPD programme throughout the year and have a good record of upskilling staff at all levels. As all children have an EHCP and are working significantly below age-related expectations, the role is more likely to suit those who are trained/experienced within Early Years, Primary or Special settings. ECTs and those with SEN/autism experience are also welcome to apply.  We operate an EYFS/Primary model of teaching up to and including Year 13 with some specialist teaching in Y10-13.  

    These are opportunities for teachers who actively collaborate in an ambitious team. We are particularly keen to hear from you if you have experience of delivering tailored and personalised learning programmes for children with SEND.  

    We are seeking to appoint class teachers who are:

    Passionate about high quality personalised provision for children with autism.
    An excellent teacher with experience or expertise in working with pupils with complex needs in EYFS/Primary/Special Needs.
    Will be an excellent role model, especially encouraging positive relationships with everyone they come into contact with.
    Equipped with strong inter-personnel needs.
    A resilient practitioner committed to further development.
    Someone who loves working closely with others to change things for the better.

    This post is a customer-facing position and falls within the scope of the Code of Practice on English Language Requirement for Public Sector Workers. The school has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the JD/Person Specification.   These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
