What the school offers its staff
Our children need you!
We are a good school. In our recent OfSTED inspection our special educational needs provision was praised by inspectors for giving children great opportunities to learn together. As a result of our inclusive culture, excellent identification processes and support mechanisms the number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities has increased. This means that we are looking to expand our SEND team.
We have a really dedicated and effective team of support staff led by our SENDCo. The team work closely with children with varying needs, supporting them to access learning in class and providing specific interventions such as Attention Autism, Identiplay and Language Link. We want people who are committed to ensuring that children access the curriculum as much as possible, who can support children to be independent within their learning and who will help children to be integrated into the classroom and the school. We are very clear that, whilst these children need support they also need time to learn and experience the school as any other child would.
Working at Burwell is rewarding. You would be joining a supportive team in a school where we are constantly striving to improve all aspects of our provision. We try to give our staff different opportunities to work with different children, different classes and different teachers balancing this with the need for consistency for some of our SEND children.
If you would like to know more about the school, please contact the school office and ask to speak to the Headteacher. We can arrange Zoom, Teams, Google meet or FaceTime conversations, as well as traditional phone calls. We are able to offer visits to the school by prior appointment.
