Our vision

At Cavendish, our values of belonging, kindness, curiosity, confidence and ambition permeate every aspect of school life. We believe that a sense of belonging is essential to nurturing positive relationships, fostering self-worth and enabling successful learning. Kindness is at the heart of everything we do, creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. We encourage curiosity, allowing our children to explore and discover new knowledge and ideas. This, in turn, builds confidence in their abilities and aspirations, and fosters a sense of ambition for their future. At Cavendish, we aim to provide a nurturing and inclusive community where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.

Our values

Belonging is fundamental in nurturing positive relationships, self-worth and enabling us to learn. Belonging also has a profound impact on our wellbeing, allows us to feel secure which enables us to trust, embrace change and challenge; this may be academically, socially or emotionally and can cultivate skills valuable throughout our lives.

We belong at Cavendish, where everyone is kind, so that we can be curious with our learning, helping us to be confident in our knowledge and have ambition for our future.

SEND resource provision

We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic teacher to join our dedicated team as the class teacher for Meadow Class, our specialist KS1 SEND Resource Provision for pupils with EHCPs where the primary identified need is Communication and Interaction.

Meadow Class opened in September 2025 and is sponsored by Oaklands School as part of Hounslow's resource provision pathway. We are now excited to appoint our own specialist class teacher to lead the provision forward. The class has up to eight pupils, supported by two skilled teaching assistants, with continued professional support from Oaklands one day per week.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a committed SEND practitioner to help shape a nurturing and inclusive provision at an exciting stage of its development. The successful candidate will also be part of a growing SEND team as we expand into KS2 SEND provision next year.

We volunteered for inspection under the new Ofsted framework and were inspected in November 2025. We are looking forward to the publication of our report card in January.

We warmly welcome you to visit our school so that you can see the provision and the whole school.
