- Feel safe in school and the community
- Be learning and developing skills that can support them in adulthood
- Recognise ways in which they can be happy with themselves and into their future
- Live as independently as they are able to
Are you a passionate individual who can support with our vision and make a real difference to children’s lives? Natalie our Headteacher and her Senior Leadership Team are always looking for amazing people to join them, and right now are looking to appoint a hardworking and dedicated Receptionist as part of our Office Administration Team.

We are an inclusive and collaborative team and look forward to welcoming someone with a professional outlook and a good sense of humour. If you are interested in joining our team and would like to come and see what we have to offer, please contact the school office to arrange a visit.

Thank you for expressing an interest in working The Mendip School, a school for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and Speech, Language and Communication Needs aged 4-19.
The Mendip School is part of the multi-academy trust partnership known as The Partnership Trust. This status allows the school to be more autonomous and to focus on initiatives that raise aspiration and achievement for children and young people.
The Mendip School staff and governors are committed to and passionate about the learning and progress of our pupils. We have high aspirations for our young people and we aim to provide a high quality, relevant and balanced education for all our pupils that focuses on individual, personal and academic achievement. Students are taught in small groups, usually with more than one member of staff in attendance. There is a happy and positive atmosphere in which young people can fulfill their potential and grow in self-confidence with respect for the people and environment around them.
We would welcome applications from people who may currently be working in mainstream schools as full training and support programmes are offered to those who have limited experience of working in a special school.
