What skills and experience we're looking for
We believe that education has the power to change lives and communities, and we constantly strive to improve our practice, so that all students have the best outcomes academically, pastorally, and in terms of their character.
With this in mind, we made sure that our £24 million new building came equipped with a specialist SEND department and 3 SEND breakout rooms, where we could create safe spaces for students with SEND to work on the things they find hard.
As a Specialist Teacher of English, you would be using these spaces to deliver a differentiated version of our mainstream curriculum to a small group of Year 7s, Year 8s, and Year 9s, each of whom you’d see five times a week.
Your remaining hours would either be spent delivering mainstream English lessons, or supporting SEND students elsewhere. The current postholder, for example, delivers the ASDAN course at KS4, which could be part of this role if desired.
Either way, you will be joining a highly effective SEND team, who are already providing support to individual students or small groups, who, due to their special educational need and/or disability (SEND), require additional help understanding or completing learning and/or in developingtheir social and emotional intelligence. You will also be joining a highly effective English team, who meet once a week to develop their subject knowledge and pedagogical skills.
As a result, you will play a vital role, working in partnership with teachers and the Leadership Team, to ensure that our SEND interventions lead to improved learning outcomes for some of our most vulnerable young people.
