Sen Teacher

Description:

Some children have been told "no" by every school they've been to. This school says yes, and then proves it.

Principal Education is recruiting an SEN Teacher for a primary SEMH special school in Hayes, Hillingdon. The school supports children aged 3 to 11 with social, emotional and mental health needs, and at its latest Ofsted inspection it was rated Outstanding in every single area: quality of education, behaviour, personal development and leadership. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the adults here get relationships, routine and high expectations right, every day.

It's a small school, so you won't be a name on a rota. You'll know every child, every family and every colleague, and they'll know you.

You'll lead a small class of primary aged children who need a teacher who stays calm, stays consistent and doesn't give up on them.
