What skills and experience we're looking for

Since opening, Little London Bridge has continued to grow and develop. As of September 2026, Little London Bridge will cater for 40 primary-aged pupils with EHCPs and Autism and/or Complex Communication Needs. The provision benefits from multiple teaching spaces, a purpose-built outdoor area, a sensory room and a sensory integration room, all designed to meet the needs of our pupils.

The entire Little London Academy community remains incredibly proud of Little London Bridge and the positive impact it is already having. The provision is helping to meet the growing need for specialist places, supporting children and families within the local community and beyond.

If you have the skills to teach pupils with complex needs to the highest quality and to embed a learning culture that enables children to become enthusiastic and independent learners, then this is the role for you!

You will be an outstanding practitioner who:

• innovative, creative and passionate about the development of outstanding provision for learners with additional needs
• is dedicated to raising standards and is able to demonstrate highly effective teaching skills
• can demonstrate the ability to plan an exciting, inspiring curriculum
• recognises parents as vital partners in learning and is committed to building strong relationships.

The successful candidate will also have the following experience and attributes:

• Qualified Teacher Status.
• A proven track record of achieving academic excellence.
• Evidence of implementing innovative approaches to learning, particularly in regard to children with ASD.
• Experience of meeting the needs of children and young people who may benefit from specialist provision within a mainstream setting.
• Resilience, energy and optimism.

Do you want to be part of our team, the creation of a brand-new provision and make a real difference to the lives of children in Leeds?
