- Moderate Learning Difficulties
- Severe Learning Difficulties
- Complex Medical Difficulties
- Downs Syndrome
- Autism
- Hearing and Visual Impairments
- Physical Disabilities
90% of pupils also have a Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). The school has received status as a Specialist College for Communication and Interaction and this plays a large part in the work undertaken by staff in school. You will be required to work with colleagues to create a positive and safe atmosphere where pupils interact with each other, with staff and with the wider community. Pupils are encouraged to respect themselves and others as they strive for excellence in all that they do both academically and personally.
As a Special Needs Teaching Assistant, you will support pupils to access learning activities, ensuring they are appropriately challenged and able to meet their expected levels of progress. You will also contribute to the ethos of the school and will offer pastoral support to pupils across all key stages.
