About this Role

As a valued member of our team, you will play a vital role in the leading and co-ordinating of our bespoke SEND provision.  You will work closely with the Class Teachers and the SENDCo to deliver a SEND provision that ensures high quality education for all pupils by working collaboratively to plan and deliver differentiated lessons tailored to the individual needs of the pupils and their EHCPs.

 Our ideal candidate will be a team player. You should have a track record of building positive relationships with pupils in order to support them to make exceptional progress, be committed to developing your own practice and share the school’s high expectations for all children. 

                                                                                     “St John’s is a special place and we need a special sort of person;

 someone with sparkle in their eyes.”

School Councillor, Year 4

You will:

  • Play a fundamental role in shaping the direction and future of our children 
  • Be part of a highly successful network of schools both locally and nationally 
  • Receive bespoke training and support in order to be the very best you can be 
  • Have the capacity to bring innovative ideas to the classroom 

 

 “Here at St John’s, within the context of Christian beliefs and practice, our children and their families always come first.  We value our children’s feelings, creativeness and success in their learning equally, helping each child’s love of learning grow, whilst also developing their interior posture.”

Andrew Knight, Headteacher

 

You must:

·       Have a warm smile that makes every child feel special

·       Be able to make every child feel safe when their world outside school might not always feel that way

·       Have the fire in your belly that fuels your desire to help children to learn and grow

·       Be prepared to deal with the lump in your throat when the children make progress

·       Be able to laugh at some of the jokes our children share even though you don’t understand them or find them funny

·       Be prepared to feel loved, special and important to our children and their families

 

 “From the moment I walked in the door on my visit,

I knew this was the place I wanted to work.”

I had the pleasure of working at St. John's Primary School as a supply teacher,

and it was an absolutely fantastic experience.

This school is truly special.

What stood out the most to me was the strong sense of

community among the staff.

Everyone works together as a team, fostering an environment where the

wellbeing of pupils and colleagues is genuinely prioritized.

The leaders are empathetic, understanding, and incredibly supportive.

Support staff are always helping you with a smile.

There’s a wholesome atmosphere that makes you feel valued

and part of something bigger.

The professionalism at St. John's is exemplary.

The team maintains the highest standards in education,

all while remembering the human element—

ensuring that everyone, from pupils to staff,

feels seen, heard, and cared for.

If you’re looking for a school that nurtures not only academic growth

but also emotional and social wellbeing,

St. John's Primary School is a shining example

of what education should look like.

It was a privilege to work there, and I’d recommend it to any teacher

or parent without hesitation.

Mrs T - Supply Teacher
