Do you have the ability to engage, motivate and promote the learning and personal development of pupils?

We require an exceptional teacher at Forest Moor Special School who is passionate about providing the best possible education and care for vulnerable students in an inspiring learning environment. This post will involve leading your own class in a primary type model for a small group of up to eight students following strong nurture principals. You will have the support of your own Teaching Assistant and work as a team to support your children. As such this post may suit an upper Key Stage 2 teacher and we have a number of primary teachers successfully teaching Key Stage 3 classes.

It could not be a more exciting time to join Forest Moor School. The school recently joined Wellspring Academy Trust and has just had nearly one million pounds invested in making the building a high quality SEMH provision. The school is very much on a rapid improvement plan and many visitors have remarked about the changes they can see since September. We are excited about our journey and are looking for creative teachers to join us on the next part of our journey.

Forest Moor is a cross-phase SEMH Special School with around 80 students on roll serving a wide catchment across North Yorkshire. This post is ideal for a person looking for a fresh challenge in an inspiring learning environment where we provide children with ‘second chance’ learning. The post will suit a candidate who has the commitment, passion and resilience to make a difference to pupils who have a range of social, emotional, mental health and special educational needs.

This post would suit a teacher with a proven track record of exceptional practice, who is able to work with vulnerable pupils with social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH). It would suit an individual who is passionate about making a real difference to student’s life chances and supporting them in achieving their potential in essential life skills, which is a high priority for Forest Moor School. The ability to be creative and use imaginative flair to engage is essential, along with having resilience, drive and high expectations to inspire students to achieve.

We are looking for a team player with presence, passion and a commitment to inclusion with the ability to work creatively for the benefit of pupils at our school. In return, you will have the opportunity to work with great colleagues as part of a supportive team and the ability to develop your career in our specialist setting.

Successful candidates will be working alongside dedicated, talented and highly skilled people and will be given a full induction at both Forest Moor and one of the Trusts other SEMH provisions.

Welcome to Forest Moor School
I am very proud to welcome you to Forest Moor School website.

We are a special school that works with children and young people aged 9-16 years old who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

As a school community we put great store by our values of Belonging, Curiosity, Honesty, Challenge, Self-Reliance and Resourcefulness. This means that we work hard to ensure that every member of our school community feels included and individually known at our school. We offer a curriculum that inspires our pupils, and gives them the opportunity to explore the world around them, as well as their interests and aptitudes. Our school is in Nidderdale, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales; we use the beautiful countryside around us to practice and develop a wide range of personal skills, including self-reliance and resourcefulness. By learning in and outside of our classrooms, pupils leave us well-prepared for the next stage of their journey.

I hope this website gives you some idea of what life is like here at Forest Moor School. Please do not hesitate to contact our office should you need any further information.
