What is e-Safety?
E-Safety is concerned with safeguarding young people (and indeed adults!) in the digital world.
It is about learning to understand and use new technologies and Information Communication Technology in a positive way.
E-safety is not about restricting children, but educating them about the risks as well as the benefits so they can feel confident and happy online.
It is about being educated to be able to support and help young people.

Woodlands Meed - A new Foundation Special School Click here to close

Woodlands Meed is a new foundation special school for pupils with a wide range of learning difficulties and complex special needs, including Autistic Spectrum Condition and Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties. We will also be a Specialist School for Communication and Interaction. Woodlands Meed will have two sites: a new purpose built school building for pupils aged 2-14 and the current Newick House site will be refurbished to make Woodlands Meed College site for 14-19 year old students. We are now able to recruit additional teaching staff to join the team when the school opens in September 2012. Class sizes will vary from 4-13 pupils and each class will have a team of support staff working alongside the teacher. Woodlands Meed will offer training and development in special needs approaches to all staff.
We are particularly interested in teachers who can deliver in KS4 within a special school setting but would welcome applicants with experience/interest in other Key Stages.

Class Teacher/s
MPS or UPS
Applicants will need a keen interest in teaching pupils who may have a wide range of special needs and abilities. They need to be good classroom practitioners who can successfully differentiate for individual needs. They need to ensure the skills of the support staff are well deployed in the classroom and be willing to use assistive approaches and technology as needed. Both Secondary or Primary expertise and experience are relevant, and subject specialism is less important than the ability to teach a range of core subjects to the class as required. The ability to offer appropriate support to pupils in developing social skills, independence and life skills will be key.

(NQTs and Job Share candidates considered)
