You will be required to support pupils on 1:1 basis as well as in small groups. Due to the nature of the children you may need to support with personal care and Moving & Handling as well as learning, behaviour and emotional support.

The curriculum is based on P-Scales which focus on personalised learning to meet the needs of each individual child. The work is highly differentiated by teachers and supported by their SEN Teaching Assistant.

Children in upper age groups focus on P7-8 as well as lower sections of the national curriculum which includes basic Maths, English & Science.

The school has a unique family feel and atmosphere. It is a superb environment to learn and the children are given every support and resource possible to provide the best education they can for them. The staff are incredibly loyal and proud to work there which makes this a wonderful opportunity to develop skills and passion for SEN and provides a terrific possibility for a successful career.
