Job description

All Saints Primary School are looking to recruit an experienced, enthusiastic SEND Teacher to work alongside a dedicated team in The Blossom Grove, our newest bespoke specialist small class provision established to meet the needs of EYFS/KS1 children from in and around the Leicestershire area with communication and cognition learning difficulties. Focusing on children's individual EHCP outcomes, we are utilising therapeutic approaches to allow children to engage with activities and resources which facilitate their progression. A team with extensive specialist experience and training are looking forward to welcoming a new member to join our friendly hard working team.

At All Saints we aim to create memorable experiences for our pupils, experiences that will allow them to flourish in all aspects of life. We strongly believe in giving our pupils a 'complete education', with access to a strong personal development. Our Personal Development offer aims to motivate and encourage our pupils to develop their passions and broaden their horizons.

Our last OFSTED , October 2023, identified the school as Good in all areas commenting

"Children get off to a strong start in the Reception Year. There are high expectations and clear routines. Children learn how to play alongside one another, share, take turns and wait with patience. This is modelled effectively by staff. Children have the opportunity to explore, take risks and learn through play. There are high-quality spoken interactions between adults and children. This supports children’s early language and communication development. The school prioritises reading. The phonics programme is delivered effectively. Pupils learn how to read new words by blending the sounds they have learned. Pupils’ reading books are carefully matched to the sounds they have been learning. This allows them to practise these new sounds, decode new words and improve their reading fluency. The school has invested in a new ‘reading spine’. This selection of books includes a diverse range of authors, characters and settings. There are high-quality texts available in every classroom. The school has introduced an ambitious reading curriculum. This approach is helping pupils to improve their comprehension skills. In mathematics, pupils said that revisiting and practising what they have learned supports their understanding. When teachers explain and model their learning, pupils say it helps it to ‘stick’. When lesson activity choices make connections to prior learning and new learning builds upon what the pupils already know, pupils are more successful. Pupils with SEND are well supported. Lessons are planned to meet the needs of all learners and to extend thinking for those pupils who are ready."

"The school is well led and managed. Leaders communicate well with a range of external agencies to ensure that pupils with SEND receive the support they need. Governors and trustees fulfil their statutory duties. Staff, including early career teachers, feel supported by leaders with regard to workload. Staff value the professional development opportunities on offer to them."

Our school offers exciting learning environments with a strong ethos of teamwork. We also offer continued professional development. Candidates with a love of children, a knowledge and understanding of their development and a commitment to creative child centered learning are welcomed.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and hardworking person to join our highly committed team. The successful applicant will be:

• Experienced in running a SEND provision
• Experience working with SEND pupils - EYFS/KS1
• Highly organised and able to set clear priorities in managing their workload
• Able to communicate clearly and positively with staff, parents and pupils, both in person and in written communications

• Able to show a 'can-do' attitude and seek solutions to problems
• Able to work flexibly and creatively
