What skills and experience we're looking for

This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly improving special school, which joined Unity Schools Partnership multi-academy trust in June 2019.

The Reception and Pre-School site is opening in September 2023 on Bramford Lane.

The school is part of a collaborative, forward thinking Academy Trust of 32 schools. Unity Schools Partnership will be creating a network of special schools working together as we have recently opened a new special school inBury St. Edmunds and have been approved to open another in Romford, as well as already having special schools in Ipswich and Haverhill.
