Letter to Prospective Candidates


Dear Applicant,

Welcome to our school.

Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 3 sites: our main site and 2 partnership sites at Windmill Primary and Rodillian Secondary. The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment.   We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have 228 pupils on roll.

Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’.  I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.

We wish to appoint an Assistant Headteacher with a proven track record of successful leadership who is inclusive and truly committed to the holistic development of all our children. This is an opportunity for someone who is ambitious and has the desire to lead, inspire and motivate others.  The right candidate will be committed to ensuring all our learners meet their full potential through innovative and creative thinking and the post will involve all aspects of Leadership in the areas of SEND, Attendance and Safeguarding.

We are looking forward to welcoming someone with the determination and drive to take the school forward in our journey to ensuring consistency and outstanding practice across all our Teaching and Learning Groups.

A visit is really the only way to see what we truly offer. I would be delighted to show you around.

Best Wishes


Kathryn Bryan
