Kemball School is a special school catering for pupils who have a wide range of cognition and learning needs. The school moved into a brand new building at the beginning of the academic year 2013/14. It has an extensive range of modern facilities to meet the needs of the pupils. These include specialist teaching areas, hoists in all classrooms and extensive indoor and outdoor play areas. There is also a hydrotherapy pool and sensory/soft rooms. There are also several meeting/training rooms to provide professionals and families with comfortable surroundings. The building is co-located with the Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy which provides good links with mainstream pupils and colleagues.

We specialise in complex physical and medical requirements for individual pupils who have this as an additional need. Additional training is given so that class staff are able to meet the range of specific medical needs that our pupils may have. Families are encouraged to play an active part in the life of the school and to be fully involved in their child’s education.

Within Kemball School, classes are divided into four different pathways. This ensures that individual needs are fully met. The pathways are fluid and pupils may move from one pathway to another if their needs change. Classes may also change from year to year dependent on the educational needs of the pupils.

Our pathways are; Multisensory, Engagement, Progression and Functional. When students are in Key Stage 4 there is more emphasis on what will happen when they leave Kemball. Whether it is going into further education or working towards gaining employment the focus is on helping them to continue their career path. To enable this we offer nationally recognised qualifications for pupils to work towards. We have a Post 16 class for pupils who have profound and multiple learning needs, functioning on lower level Engagement Steps (previously P1 and P3ii).

Kemball School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This position is subject to a criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) which will require you to disclose details of all unspent and unfiltered spent reprimands, formal warnings, cautions and convictions as part of the recruitment process. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration of their criminal record and other relevant safeguarding information that may make them unsuitable to work with children.

It is an offence to apply for this position if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity.
