The school offers a structured, nurturing environment focused on re-engaging pupils with learning
, rebuilding confidence, and promoting positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing. Teachers work closely with support staff and external professionals to deliver individualised and flexible curricula tailored to each pupil.

The successful candidate will hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and demonstrate a calm, resilient, and trauma-informed approach
, with strong behaviour management skills and the ability to build trusting relationships with pupils who may have had negative experiences of education.

Experience with in SEND, SEMH, PRU, or alternative provision settings is highly desirable, though applications from ECTs and teachers with transferable experience are welcomed.
