We'll provide that time to understand the role and make / implement the changes you feel are necessary but we want that person who has passion to be in the classroom (as first and foremost we're teachers) and that desire to drive inclusivity and support our community. - Inclusion at Blakenhale is broader than just SEND. We champion all vulnerable learners, ensuring that any child facing any form of disadvantage is supported to thrive and that our systems and classroom practice remove barriers for every learner.

You’ll work in a very diverse academy, we have numerous languages spoken and there's work to support with speech and language alongside varying cognition and learning needs. There's opportunities to develop EHCP's that really support our students and best help them, alongside really looking and shaping our policies and procedures.

About Oasis Blakenhale

As we shape a new enrichment‑led identity for the Academy, you will play a key role in developing our Pupil Pledge and ensuring every child benefits from a rich, joyful and ambitious curriculum beyond the classroom.
