Advert

After successfully opening in September 2020, Springhead Park Primary continues to grow and develop, offering a holistic approach to primary education for the local community. We are an inclusive school and ensure that each and every pupil has an equal opportunity to attain their maximum potential throughout all aspects of the curriculum. This opportunity will be focused around working with a child diagnosed with ASD. This involves supporting them to access the school curriculum and also, working collaboratively with the class teacher, on the targets within their Educational Healthcare Plan.

It is our firm belief that the key to successfully supporting children with special educational needs, is building a strong relationship and a sense of trust with the child. From this strong relationship, the child will learn to feel secure, understand their boundaries and be challenged and encouraged in their learning. They develop vital social skills and gain independence. For this reason, experience is not essential to this role though it may be an advantage. We are looking for a person to build that relationship with the child to help them grow and reach their full potential. The successful candidate will be supported in developing and implementing effective strategies to support the child, by the SENCO and Class Teacher. 

Please continue reading to find out about the ethos of our school.

Springhead Park Primary will be an empowering place of learning where children are taught to the highest of academic standards, and love to learn- we will educate the whole child: their brain, their heart, their talents and their outlook. We will achieve this through a real breadth and richness of our everyday curriculum, ensuring that every child has an entitlement to the whole curriculum in order to find their individual talents and passions.

As a newly opening school, Springhead Park can offer you the chance to contribute to establishing this holistic, creative and outward facing culture from the very beginning of the journey.
