What skills and experience we're looking for
Our experienced Head teacher and her supportive senior leadership team are looking to recruit an experienced teacher, with a passion for and experience of teaching pupils with SEND to work in our Enhanced Learning Provision for children with SEND working alongside SEND teaching assistants. This is a full-time role working alongside another experienced SEND teacher and trained support staff. Visits to the school are encouraged and can be arranged via the school office.

At South Norwood Primary School we have an MLD ELP for children with Mild Learning Difficulties. Croydon special schools and enhanced learning provisions offer appropriate placements for children and young people with the most significant needs, who require a curriculum which is wrapped around them so that they can engage in learning. Special School and ELPs form part of Croydon’s continuum of provision and services which The Council makes for children and young people with SEND. They offer a variety of provision through their different designations and distinctive areas of expertise. The ELP curriculum is topic based and is a blend of EYFS/KS1 learning, social communication skills, listening, speaking and attention. There is also a focus on sensory needs, behaviour and play. The children all have individual packages of support according to their own particular needs. Our staff make their assessments and tailor their learning accordingly.
