Wilson Stuart School is an Ofsted designated outstanding all age (2 – 25 years) Special School which provides very high quality education for up to 232 pupils and young people who have physical disabilities, and/or complex medical conditions. We have achieved an outstanding grade in our last 5 Ofsted inspections and in our last 2 inspections, the latest of which was February 2015, we were graded as outstanding in every single aspect of the inspection.

Wilson Stuart 6th Form offers an exciting and unique opportunity, we have well-established vocational partners and our 19-25 LIVE Programme, in partnership with University College Birmingham, provides a fully inclusive vocational education, designed to get students into employment.

We also have a 40 place mainstream nursery offering all year round (AYR) childcare provision from 8:00am – 6:00pm.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity for the nursery pupils to utilise our schools’ extensive facilities, including a

25m swimming pool, sensory and soft play rooms, and extensive outdoor space and play equipment, which makes for a superb environment to support teaching and learning.

We recognise the importance of teamwork and this is evident through all aspects of the work we do. Our students are delightful, work hard and are keen to learn and the school is a very happy and positive working environment. Visitors instantly recognise the positive atmosphere in the school as soon as they arrive. We have a comprehensive induction programme and friendly and very supportive staff along with excellent facilities and a superb environment to support teaching and learning. Wilson Stuart School is not just a special school – it is an exceptional school!

This is a tremendous opportunity to join the Team of a five-times “Outstanding” Academy school. Wilson Stuart is an all-age Special School (2-25) school with a highly successful track record and a national reputation for innovation and development. We have a string of successful “firsts” within our school portfolio and continuously work to improve and expand our provision and practice. We are a Lead School for School Direct Teacher training and we also train Teaching Assistants. We have been granted Multi Academy Trust status by the DfE and we are now looking forward to developing our own Multi Academy Trust. Wilson Stuart has several vibrant partnerships and we work very closely with University College Birmingham on a variety of projects, including the development of a vocational training college for 19-25 year olds. Staff here benefit from the very best facilities and resources. Our students are hard-working, inspirational and really are a pleasure to teach.

We are looking for a committed and outstanding teacher who can teach across all areas of school creating a differentiated curriculum appropriate to the diverse needs of our pupils. The post would suit a creative and innovative teacher – we actively promote experimentation and new ideas. Wilson Stuart School has a unique “family feel” and a tremendously supportive staff team.

OFSTED describe us as an ‘Outstanding’ school ‘in every respect’. We constantly strive for excellence, seeking innovative and collaborative ways of delivering the curriculum and therefore any person appointed will be a highly committed and enthusiastic professional.

Informal visits are welcome.
