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 3 partnership sites at Windmill Primary, Rodillian Secondary and Future Steps Hub at the White Rose Business Park. 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 278 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.
The Governors of this caring and successful school want to appoint a number of Level 2 LSA positions to work with our pupils across all Teaching and Learning Groups.

Our staff are passionate about developing the learning and life chances and opportunities of our pupils and young people.

A welcoming, caring school with supportive colleagues and parents

We are looking for:
