The education and well-being we provide depends on forging excellent partnerships between home and school. ​

We are seeking to appoint an experienced and highly skilled Class Teacher to join our vibrant and welcoming specialist school. Our staff teams are positive and enthusiastic about ensuring all pupils reach their unique potential by offering a broad and balanced curriculum personalised to meet their individual needs.

What is Verbal Behaviour?

• Verbal Behaviour is an approach that applies behavioural principles to language development.
• Teaching methodologies used are evidence based and developed from an initial text written by Skinner.
• Verbal Behaviour focusses on the reasons why we engage in different types of communication.
• It helps us identify areas of communication that our pupils find difficult and how to teach them most effectively.
• Verbal Behaviour doesn’t just have to be vocal communication.
• Individuals can engage in Verbal Behaviour in multiple modes using sign language, communication books, electronic devices etc.
• All of our teaching is delivered in the context of the Multi-Agency Support the individual receives.

We offer an exceptional CPD package for our staff and our ethos is ‘everyone a learner, everyone a leader’.  We believe in growing our own leaders and are passionate about offering all motivated staff opportunities to develop their leadership skills; especially as there will be many professional opportunities as we expand.
