KS3 Teacher with experience of teaching SEN Pupils

Thank you for your interest in the KS3 Teacher post at Haberdashers’ Abraham Darby. An increasing number of pupils are finding the transition from primary school to secondary school challenging. For some it is the move from small nurture group provision to being in a class of 15-30, for others they have arrived with extensive ‘Covid’ knowledge gaps which have been difficult to close, whilst for others it is ‘factors beyond their control’. We are therefore seeking to appoint an inspirational and dynamic KS3 teacher, with specific experience of teaching SEN pupils, to help to bridge those gaps with focused interventions that empower pupils to successfully integrate into mainstream education. Approximately 35% of our pupils are eligible for FSM and Pupil Premium so a desire to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people will be at the core of the successful candidate. You will be teaching elements of the KS3 curriculum to classes of Year 7 and Year 8 pupils who either have knowledge and skills gaps or who are not yet academically and emotionally secondary school ready. In addition, you will play a crucial role in helping to ensure that our pupils develop into confident young people, developing their resilience and improving their emotional well-being. We are looking to appoint a colleague who will: · enthuse, motivate and inspire children, generating a genuine love for learning · provide engaging and creative learning experiences for all pupils · have high expectations of children's achievement and behaviour · have vision, enthusiasm and determination · has the ambition to progress into leadership and management · provide a safe and happy environment that promotes the welfare of children · Take an active role in the wider life of the Academy. Our pupils are delightful, we are minutes away from Ironbridge Gorge and some beautiful countryside and we’d love to have you on our team. We look forward to receiving your application soon.
