• Plan and deliver a broad, ambitious and adapted curriculum across core subjects (English, Maths, History, Geography and Religious Studies)
• Implement assessment for learning to adapt teaching and monitor progress, providing feedback that helps students move forward
• Explicitly teach learning strategies, organisational skills and independence.
• Establish predictable routines and structures to reduce anxiety
• Contribute to creating a positive learning environment where all students feel valued, helping pupils to remain in their local school and peer community
• Take part in wider school life, including enrichment activities and extra-curricular opportunities
• Play an active role in supporting the school’s commitment to raising achievement for all.

We offer:

• The opportunity to shape a pioneering provision
