About the School

This specialist provision supports children and young people aged 11–16 with complex social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Many students have experienced disrupted education and benefit from a highly personalised, therapeutic approach to learning.

The school offers:

• A calm, structured and nurturing environment designed to support emotional wellbeing and positive behaviour

• A broad, adapted curriculum that balances core academic subjects with life skills, vocational learning and personal development
• A strong focus on attachment-aware and trauma-informed practice, with integrated therapeutic and pastoral support
• Opportunities for students to re-engage with education and progress toward meaningful qualifications and future pathways

• Supporting emotional regulation, engagement and resilience
• Creating a safe, consistent and therapeutic learning environment
• Working collaboratively with SEN, pastoral and therapy teams to meet EHCP targets
• Using a restorative and trauma-informed approach to behaviour management

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent teaching experience in SEN settings
• Experience working with SEMH needs or challenging behaviour (desirable but not essential)
• A calm, patient and consistent approach to behaviour support
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly
• A compassionate, resilient and flexible mindset
