The inspectors noted that ‘Pupils are proud of their school and want to do their best’. The inspectors noted that ‘The school’s inclusive atmosphere and its broad curriculum contribute well to pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.’ They were also very positive about leadership across the school, saying ‘The headteacher provides strong leadership and direction for the school. All members of staff share his high aspirations for pupils and understand their role in ensuring that all groups achieve well….Governors share senior leaders’ high expectations of staff and pupils.’ 

We are proud to have: - A vibrant and diverse school community - Enthusiastic, friendly and well-mannered children - Hardworking, dedicated and supportive staff - Positive relationships with parents - A commitment to continuing professional development

We are seeking to appoint an Individual Needs Assistant to work as a member of our Inclusion Team at this happy and rapidly improving school, supporting a range of children with Special Educational Needs.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.   This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).

All school based staff have the responsibility for promoting the safeguarding and welfare of children.  All school staff should be aware of the school’s Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy and work in accordance with this document at all times.
