Those Huge Small Victories

Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There’s lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.

Get out what you put in

We are looking for flexible Primary teachers excited about the opportunity to teach in a highly collaborative personalised way. Classes in our primary department are divers with some focussed on a language communication and interaction engagement model of learning through to access to the National Curriculum.  You’ll need to be resilient, dedicated, and committed to helping our pupils succeed, celebrating every achievement along the way supported by a dynamic leadership, pastoral and clinical teams.
