Two full time positions in our existing highly successful Nurture team - one focussed on our year 7/8 provision, the other focussed on our year 8/9 provision
We are looking for two committed and hardworking teachers to teach and inspire a crucial cohort of students within Aylsham High School for whom the experience within our Nurture provision is often transformational. We would welcome applications from both primary and secondary phase teachers for these posts. You would be joining a well-established Nurture team and a school with Nurture already at the heart of its ethos. We are excited to offer these posts to develop, extend and continue our Nurture success supporting students’ with complex and behavioural needs.
The year 7 post primarily delivers high quality academic, social and emotional provision for our most vulnerable students as part of a full curriculum offer based primarily within our purpose built Nurture centre. In year 8 identified Nurture students will continue to access their core learning through an adapted curriculum. In year 9 this provision continues but allows students the opportunity to access our options programme two days a week.
The post holders will be highly skilled practitioners who are adept at working with complex needs and behaviours. A willingness to learn and develop will also be imperative. They will be passionate about the role and invested in making a difference to the learning and lives of the students they work with. We are looking for calm and patient practitioners who hold a strong belief in the ability of all young people to be successful.
We believe wholeheartedly in helping teachers to improve their classroom practice and our CPD programme is incredibly strong. Every teacher gets to work with one of our highly experienced teacher coaches to help them to develop their practice and become the best teacher they can be. We are also committed to exploring evidence based practice and current research in education.
Aylsham High is one of the most consistently successful schools in Norfolk and our work is underpinned by the values of the co-operative movement. Our cohort is truly comprehensive and we are committed to being an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive school community. The school is blessed with excellent staff, great facilities, and a wonderful group of students. The support that we enjoy from parents and the wider community is second to none. We believe that if we are going to maintain and improve on the school’s achievements, we have to continuously evaluate our approach to teaching and learning and this is a theme that runs throughout our school improvement planning.
