Our specialist SEN school in Harlow is dedicated to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive environment where children with a wide range of additional needs can thrive. We are known for our positive, child-centred approach and our commitment to ensuring every pupil is valued and supported to reach their full potential.

At our school, we believe that education should be a joyful and enriching experience for every child, no matter their abilities. Our dedicated and caring staff work together to create a welcoming and dynamic learning environment, where every child is given the opportunity to succeed and feel confident in their learning.

As a Primary Teacher in our school, you will play a key role in delivering a high-quality education to our pupils, tailoring lessons to meet the individual needs of each child. You will be part of a passionate team that works collaboratively to support the development of every pupil, ensuring that they have the tools they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Whether you're starting your teaching career or have years of experience, you will receive all the training and support you need to succeed in this incredibly rewarding role.

In this role, you will:

  • Plan and deliver engaging, creative, and differentiated lessons that cater to the diverse needs of pupils with SEND, ensuring that every child can access the curriculum and make progress.

  • A reflective and proactive attitude, with a commitment to continuous professional development and a desire to improve your teaching practice.
  • Patience, resilience, and creativity-essential qualities for supporting pupils with additional needs.
  • A collaborative and team-oriented approach, with the ability to work well with colleagues and support staff.
