The pupil is educated within an alternative provision setting separate from the mainstream classroom, where she receives tailored support to meet her individual needs.

The successful candidate will play a key role in helping the pupil engage with learning activities, develop communication skills, build independence, and navigate the school day successfully.

The school has an excellent reputation for inclusion and pupil support. Staff work collaboratively to ensure children with additional needs receive the highest standard of care and education.
