Meadowfield School is looking to appoint an innovative and inspirational special needs teacher for our satellite provision at a neighbouring mainstream school.
Satellite classes provide some of our more academically able pupils with opportunities to learn in a mainstream and inclusive environment.
Ideally, Teachers for our satellite classes will:
1. Have experience in both mainstream and SEND settings.
2. Be confident and proactive in developing relationships with the host school.
3. Be comfortable working away from the main site.
4. Be creative in utilizing a mainstream environment to support Meadowfield pupils' learning and preparation for further education and adulthood.
5. Be resourceful in establishing a new class.
We are seeking a Teacher for a secondary satellite class hosted at Fulston Manor School on Brenchley Road, Sittingbourne. Meadowfield successfully opened its first secondary class at Fulston in September 2025, with a second opening planned for September 2025. While pupils are on the roll of Meadowfield School and follow its curriculum, assessment practices, policies, and procedures, learning will take place in a new building (scheduled for completion in April 2025) on the Fulston campus. Meadowfield pupils will enjoy facilities such as the sports hall and library.
The satellite will accommodate approximately 20 Meadowfield pupils across two classes, resulting in small learning groups. Class Teachers will be supported by Teaching Assistants and an Assistant Principal who visits regularly from the main site. Applicants should be willing to travel from Fulston to the main site on Swanstree Avenue for meetings and CPD.
We strongly recommend booking an appointment to visit us.
Further information about the role's responsibilities can be found in the attached job description. The accompanying information pack provides guidance on applying. We encourage you to review all provided information, including details about the school on our website, before submitting your application.
