Joining the Apollo Primary alternative provision team will be incredibly rewarding! We focus on creating a nurturing and restorative environment for students with diverse needs striving to make a positive impact on a child's whole development.

We Focus on Well-being and Social-Emotional Learning:

Supportive Environment: The program prioritises student well-being and social-emotional learning, creating a nurturing and trauma-informed environment. This can be fulfilling for those who want to make a positive impact on a child's whole development.

Collaboration and Relationships: The restorative practice approach emphasises building relationships and resolving conflict constructively. This can foster a more collaborative and supportive school community.

Catering to Diverse Needs:

SEND Expertise: The curriculum is SEND-friendly, and the school offers inclusive teaching practices. This allows you to develop your expertise in working with students with diverse needs, which can be both challenging and rewarding.

Bespoke Curriculum: The bespoke curriculum allows for creativity and tailoring lessons to individual student needs while encouraging the aspects of PACE: (Play, Attention, Curiosity, and Exploration) to encourage active learning through play-based and child-centred approaches.

We encourage educators who enjoy innovation and differentiation in their teaching.

Professional Development and Growth:

Small Class Sizes: Small class sizes allow for more individualised attention to both students and teachers. You'll have the opportunity to provide more focused support and receive more professional development opportunities.

Staff Wellbeing:We care about the wellbeing of our staff by creating a positive work environment, offering professional development opportunities across the academy.

Making a Difference:

Sustainable Focus: The school promotes environmental awareness and action, which is a powerful way to inspire students and contribute to a better future.

Alternative Provision: Working in alternative provision allows you to make a significant impact on the lives of students who may be struggling in traditional settings.

Overall, Apollo's whole-school approach creates a nurturing, supportive, and innovative environment for everyone. If you thrive in a collaborative setting that prioritises student well-being and social-emotional learning, then Apollo maybe the perfect place for you!

• A clear, consistent and relational approach to working with high-tariff and vulnerable students
