As a teacher within the Trust, you will have the opportunity to reach out and be a mentor and a role model for children who need the guidance and support your qualifications, and experience will bring to the role. Classrooms and teachers are learning how to collaborate with our children to secure the very best outcomes they deserve by creating beautiful and important work that they can share with peers and their families. Suppose nothing makes you happier and more fulfilled than seeing children discover their passion, and experience success in learning, or come to understand the importance of perseverance. You will bring a deep love of learning and pass that knowledge and passion onto our children every day. Children with additional needs deserve to be treated the same as all other groups of children. They deserve to have the same opportunities and learn the things that their mainstream peers learn. Our specialist school is seeking a qualified teacher who cares about unique children, is keen to see them doing well, but who will push their limits to succeed.

(a) create and maintain a safe environment
(b) manage situations should child welfare concerns arise
(c) create an atmosphere of trust in which pupils feel confident to confide any concern
(d) help young people to understand the difference between acceptable and non - acceptable behaviour
(e) teach pupils to stay safe from harm
Pupils are taught about safeguarding, including E-safety as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. All staff within the Trust take welfare concerns seriously and encourage children and young people to talk about anything that worries them.
