Job description

Humanities Teacher

Vision and Background

TheOrange Tree Schoolis an outstanding independent specialist school provision for young people aged 11-19 who will thrive in a small, therapeutic and nurturing environment.

The Orange Tree School team are passionate about providing opportunities for those students currently out of education or those who are not coping within the mainstream setting. Our aim is to work consistently to provide excellence for every student. With a highly-trained team, we support each student’s individual needs, particularly focusing on those students needing a safe, but aspirational, environment to recapture an often lost passion for learning and creativity.

The student’s needs and wellbeing are at the heart of everything that we do, and we take pride in helping our students to re-engage with their learning and thrive and develop as individuals and as part of a community. We do this through individualised care, in small class sizes, alongside a team composed not just of educationalists, but a wide array of healthcare professionals who work together as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

We are extremely proud of the tireless efforts of all of our staff, driven by the desire to bring about the best outcomes for each and every one of our students.
