- Supporting pupils with significant emotional, behavioural and learning needs \n

- Thrive with strong routines, trauma-informed practice and calm leadership \n
What We’re Looking For

- A teacher with excellent behaviour management \n
- Someone calm, patient and emotionally intelligent \n
- Confident delivering multiple subjects at a differentiated level \n
- Experience with SEND, SEMH or nurture provision is highly desirable \n

Why Apply?
\n- \n
- Very small class sizes \n
- Strong pastoral focus with real impact \n
- Consistent TA support \n
- Opportunity to build meaningful relationships and see progress daily \n
- Perfect for teachers wanting to step away from high-pressure mainstream classrooms \n
