Permanent Opportunities from September

An SEMH School in Redbridge is actively searching for a dynamic and flexible English Teacher with experience with pupils with an SEMH diagnosis.

What does learning look like for students at this Redbridge SEMH School?

Due to the transitory nature of pupils’ journey with the school, this SEMH School operates a project based learning model, where different aspects of the curriculum are linked by a common theme or project, allowing all pupils to access learning no matter their when they join the school. After the pandemic, many pupils have been left with large gaps in their learning and literacy skills. This school has a dedicated focus on literacy and has made great steps to make reading an enjoyable project for pupils, with new library facilities recently constructed.

Further to this, the school boasts an outdoor learning provision and a comprehensive structure for pupil provision and development with their qualifications post-16.
