• Innovate: Deliver specialised intervention programmes that bridge the learning gap.
• Collaborate: Work with passionate pastoral and SEND teams to ensure every child feels included, safe, and heard.
What we offer:
• Growth: We provide training and specialism opportunities tailored to our evolving student cohort.
• Environment: Work in a well-equipped, purpose-built block designed specifically for flexible SEN delivery.
• Impact: Support a community of 46 EHCP students and 130+ students on our SEND register who truly value your expertise.
The Special Needs department The department is responsible for supporting students with a range of special needs. Accommodation consists of a purpose-built block of rooms. All rooms are very well equipped and are flexible enough to be used for teaching groups of varying sizes up to twelve. One of the dedicated rooms also serves as an 'Inclusion Room' and students with temporary access concerns and students who need time out spend some time there. TAs may support this area. The Special Needs Co-ordinator oversees provision in school, working closely with staff and parents to try to meet individual needs.
