The leadership are very supportive of new staff in terms of CPD, coaching and mentoring. There are 110 students on roll so it is a fairly small school which has the advantage of feeling like a family and the school's leadership try to run it in that style.
The role is to teach a small Key Stage 3 class with 7 full time learners. You would be supported by an HLTA and 2 TAs as some of the children have challenging behaviour as a result of their ASC (autism spectrum condition), ADHD and anxiety.
The curriculum is based on developing independent living and employability whilst ensuring students have strong functional literacy and numeracy skills. The school prioritises skills for life and work, including relevant accreditation and work experience and there are BTECs delivered to years 10 and 11.

The school is within walking distance from 2 tube stations and is easily accessible by a number of bus routes.
