We are looking for child centred teachers to work in our determinedly warm and positive school that values both its staff and pupils. Our vision and values are built on the principles of nurture, which is at the heart of everything we do.

Our school is a special school for pupils with complex needs, accommodating boys and girls with an EHCP aged 4 to 16. We opened in June 2017 following relocation (formally Lydgate School). This has seen us double in size over the last 3 years and we currently have 156 pupils on roll. The successful candidate will help us to grow our school further as we approach our capacity of 164.

There are three pathways in our school to help us deliver a relevant curriculum to meet the very diverse needs of our pupils:

Orchard:          Our pupils who can (or will be able to) follow a more formal curriculum are in the Orchard Pathway. In most cases, their primary need is cognition and learning.

Forest:             Our Forest Pathway caters best for pupils who benefit from a semi-formal curriculum. In most cases, their primary need is communication and interaction which forms a significant part of their provision.

Woodland:      Our Woodland Pathway is for pupils with high levels of anxiety who need a more personalised and flexible approach. Their primary is usually around their social, emotional and mental health (SEMH).

We require 2 teachers to fill vacancies in the Forest and Woodland Pathway, although we can be flexible for the right candidate to accommodate their skill sets.

We encourage applications from NQTs to more experienced teachers. There is a strong emphasis on CPD and training for all teachers, and you will receive a comprehensive package of professional support and development. Leaders are committed to supporting staff wellbeing and workload, and this is referenced in our last Ofsted Inspection.

Visits to our school are encouraged and arrangements can be made with Michelle Richardson by ringing 01484 504544.

To apply for this vacancy, completed application forms must be returned to the school by Friday 2nd October. Please email your completed application form to: office@southgateschool.co.uk

If you are not prepared to give every child a fresh start, every day, no matter what has happened, please do not apply.

Deadline:                                 2 October 2020                      

Shortlisting:                            w/c 5 October 2020   

Interviews will be held:           w/c 12 October 2020

This job is subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level, please refer to the Job Description/Profile.  A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
