Furze Down is an outstanding special school on split sites in Winslow and Buckingham, which meets the needs of 220 pupils with communication and interaction needs aged 4 to 19. We are incredibly proud of our school and have a dedicated multi-disciplinary staff team who have the needs of our pupils at the heart of everything. We pride ourselves on building positive relationships with our pupils, their families and supporting professionals.

Our vision is “to promote our inclusive philosophy, so all thrive and flourish”. The school’s values of personal responsibility and respect have been instrumental in developing an ethos where views, beliefs and differences are appreciated and given a voice.

We offer a detailed, sequenced and carefully mapped out curriculum that reduces planning time for teachers. A bespoke assessment framework adapted by teachers reduces time spent on data. We offer a coaching model for professional development and work co-productively to develop pedagogical practice across the school. As an outstanding school, we put staff development at the heart, believing our pupils are worthy of the best-trained and best-skilled teams working with them. As part of our commitment to flexible working we prioritise teacher PPA time to allow working from home if preferred.

You will be responsible for ensuring there are high quality and effective learning opportunities for all pupils. Class sizes are small and our experienced teams offer support with a collaborative approach to teaching and delivery of the curriculum. You will work closely with our multi-disciplinary teams and lead a team of learning support assistants. Classes are organised within different pathways and you may be teaching within any one of these across the secondary age ranges.

If you relish being able to make your mark with innovative and creative practice and you are excited about making a real difference, then this role will provide you with the scope to achieve your goal.
