About the Role:
Our primary children typically work 3-4 years below age-related expectations and all have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) covering a range of complex learning difficulties, including speech and language difficulties, autism, and medical needs. You will be part of a team, working with small mixed-age groups of 10-12 children. All teachers coordinate a subject as part of a collaborative team, and we are currently considering both KS1 and KS2 opportunities.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Passionate, dedicated, and innovative primary SEN teachers.
- Experience in special education or inclusion in either placement or training
