At this exciting time for The Bridge School, we are looking for an inspirational Class Teacher with a passion for SEND and a creative, innovative approach to delivering the curriculum, to join us and make an impact on the learning of our students. We are looking for candidates with the motivation and determination to ensure that students make progress and to improve and boost their experience.
You will be supported in your role by experienced SEND leaders who will be available to offer advice and guidance as the school moves forward under their leadership. Significant training and development are available through opportunities for professional development, research, teacher training and collaboration between schools and across phases.
The Bridge School is an excellent all-through school for SLD pupils. This is an exciting opportunity to join The Bridge School, part of Unity Schools Partnership.
The school facilities are modern and first class, with all the extra special provision you would expect in the best special schools. Candidates may already be working in SEND or may wish to pursue a career in this sector. Class teachers manage a group of between 8 - 12 pupils and are supported by a team of TAs and a Phase Leader. Our pupils are delightful.
