Subject Leader of Maths job summary
Springwell Leeds is a provision for children and
young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs for the city
of Leeds. We are an academy for 340 7-16 year olds on three sites across the
city. Our three brand new buildings have been open since 2019.
Our aim is to provide the best possible care and
education that we can for children and young people with Social, Emotional and
Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Unconditional Positive Regard is at the centre of
what we do and we are creating an academy that is welcoming, caring, safe, warm
and believes that all of its pupils can be supported and empowered to succeed.
We create individual and personalised pathways
for our students that are built around their varied needs and that will help
them achieve positive outcomes and prepare them for their onward destinations
into continuing education, work or training. In order to achieve this we have
developed a curriculum that provides opportunities for academic progression as
well as vocational learning, whilst being engaging, creative, and innovative.
We see strong relationships with students,
parents, carers and the wider community as the key to our success - and we
ensure that our academies are welcoming safe places for children to learn and
prosper. We believe in working closely with our families and carers and welcome
their support, but also realise that at times they will need our support too.
We work closely with Leeds City Council and other agencies and schools to make
sure we do all we can to make learning and life the best it possibly can be.
What We Are About…
Relationships. Unconditional Positive Regard.
Trauma-informed Practice. Restorative Practice. Continuous Professional
Development. Pupil-focussed, Needs-focused
