Brook Acre Community Primary School

Summary:  Required for September 2024

The Governors would like to appoint an outstanding and inspirational teacher to join our excellent team of dedicated staff, committed to ensuring the highest standards and best learning opportunities for the pupils of Brook Acre. 

The additional leadership opportunity is suitable for existing senior leaders with an interest in SEND, teachers with previous experience of senior leadership and a passion for SEND or experienced teachers looking to progress to a leadership role within SEND.

Brook Acre is a school moving from strength to strength with a tangible buzz for improvement throughout each key stage.  This is an exciting time for our school and a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to join our team in developing the quality of provision we offer to ensure each child is provided with outstanding opportunities to move their learning forward.

We are looking for the right candidate to demonstrate outstanding teaching practice to join a dedicated team of teaching and support staff, building on sound starting points to offer excellent progress for all.  The key stage/year group assigned to the teaching post will be based on experience and interests of the successful candidate, with flexibility to appoint to either Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2.  Please state key stage/year group preferences within your letter of application.

Due to a change in the school’s staffing structure, the Governors have agreed to the recruitment of a new SEND leader offering a TLR 2a post to work alongside existing SENDCo building on excellent quality and support within the SEND team.
