The Westminster School is looking to appoint an inspirational and creative teacher to join our Outstanding Special School (OFSTED November 2017).

The school caters for 199 pupils aged 7 -19 years with a wide range of special Educational Needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Development Delay and Moderate to Severe Learning Disabilities.

Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 and our more complex needs pupils follow a primary class-based model.  Teachers are responsible for one class of pupils, grouped on their needs and abilities and teach across the curriculum.  The school’s innovative Personal Development Curriculum Model to cater for complex needs puts pupils first to prepare them for life.
