Our Mission

At Moorland Primary School, we are determined to give our children every chance to realise their potential. We have high aspirations for our children and want to equip them with the confidence, resilience and a passion for learning. We strive to transform the future for our children and are committed to give every young person the very best start so that every child leaves Moorland Primary school excited about their next stages of learning and determined to succeed.

Job Context

Moorland Primary school is situated in a significantly deprived area where 58% of pupils receive pupil premium. SEND is well above national with Communication and Interaction and SEMH being our highest needs. Poor attendance and lateness remain a barrier for a small group of vulnerable pupils. However, we work tirelessly to improve this.

Many of our pupils join us significantly below age-related expectations, often facing complex barriers to learning and wellbeing. The progress they make is the result of a whole-school commitment to high-quality teaching, learning, and assessment, supported by a dedicated team of professionals. At the heart of this is our SEND Teaching Assistants, whose role is absolutely pivotal. They work in close partnership with teachers, leaders, and our wellbeing team to deliver targeted interventions, adapt learning experiences, and provide emotional and social support that enables every child to thrive. SEND TAs are champions for inclusion, ensuring that pupils with additional needs feel valued, understood, and empowered to achieve their full potential. Their impact goes far beyond academic progress—they help build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging for our most vulnerable learners.

If you have experience of  working with pupils with SEND and plenty of energy and resilience we would love to meet you.  If like us, you truly believe that ALL pupils can succeed, then we can offer you friendly, enthusiastic and curious children who really want to learn!

Our dedicated and hardworking team are looking for someone who can demonstrate the passion, warmth and positivity needed to help our children overcome barriers and reach their full potential.  If you have excellent communication skills, a desire to connect with our school community alongside skills and knowledge to support learning we welcome your application. 

 We are proud of our nurturing ethos, which meets the individual needs of all our children and their families.  We offer a friendly and supportive community, an attractive learning environment and a commitment to professional development.
