Home to School Driver job summary

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.

needs of our diverse learners.
