The Federation of Boldmere Schools are an inclusive 3-form entry setting, situated in the Sutton Coldfield area of Birmingham. We offer places for children between the ages of 3-11 years, working closely as a Federation to ensure ‘outstanding’ provision for all our children.

We are a fully inclusive school and have an inclusion base for children diagnosed with ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition) and with an EHCP (Educational Health Care Plan).

• the ability to be resilient, initiate, develop and implement creative skills

• the ability to take responsibility for the outcomes of the children being taught

• experience of teaching children on the ASC spectrum

• experience in the effective management and delivery of outcomes and provision required in individual EHCPs

• an ability to implement effective intervention strategies to positively impact upon the children in your class

• the ability to work in collaboration with outside agencies who are commissioned to benefit the provision of the children in their setting, such as CAT, EP, SaLT and PSS

We are passionate about meeting the needs of children with additional and complex needs. Our staff provide a caring and safe learning environment, working as a friendly, supportive and hardworking team.
