'Through learning to learn, pupils will access society' Due to the expansion of Fitzwaryn into a satellite site on the site of St John's Academy in Grove in September 2026, The Propeller Academy Trust is looking to hire two dedicated and passionate teachers, one to teach on the mainsite and one to teach at the secondary satellite site at St John's.

We are committed to providing the very best for our pupils and we know that dedicated teachers with strong understanding of special educational needs are essential to making that happen. The school has a fantastic, purpose-built environment that enables us to deliver an exciting and diverse curriculum for each and every child so that they leave with the skills and knowledge they need to successfully engage in the next stage of their lives. Our staff are empowered to share ideas, lead change, and shape provision.
