The needs of children and young people in these specialist contexts will continue to be closely monitored and reviewed. Wherever possible, opportunities to extend their learning in a mainstream environment will be considered and taken forward with a view to maximising their social skills and breadth of learning experiences.

The teacher appointed will be required to work closely with the ISP team and Senior Leadership Team, families, and partners to promote inclusion.

You will be responsible for planning to improve outcomes for our children through individual planning and target setting.

We are looking for a positive and creative person who will plan a curriculum and create an environment that is inclusive and incorporates visual supports, sensory learning activities, a communication friendly environment including promoting the use of Makaton.
