  • Supportive multidisciplinary teams 

  • Listening and responding to the voices of everyone in our school community and beyond.

  • Enabling our learners and the whole school community to be the best they can be

  • Accepting and celebrating individual differences and celebrating neurodiversity

  • Respecting our community in all areas of their life & learning

  • Nurturing the individual to develop autonomy and independence

  • You will take responsibility for the day the day management and running of TLR (Secondary Department)

  • You will be a passionate and excellent educator, who believe in not allowing any barriers preventing our pupils accessing their education
