About the role
Some children have been told "no" by every school they've been to. This school says yes, and then proves it. Principal Education is recruiting an SEN Teacher for a primary SEMH special school in Hayes, Hillingdon. The school supports children aged 3 to 11 with social, emotional and mental health needs, and at its latest Ofsted inspection it was rated Outstanding in every single area: quality of education, behaviour, personal development and leadership. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the adults here get relationships, routine and high expectations right, every day. It's a small school, so you won't be a name on a rota.
