Churchward School is a special school for children and young people (CYP) aged 11-19 years with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or Social Communication Interaction Difficulties (SCID). We are pioneers for both academic and pastoral health.
Due to our continued expansion, we are seeking committed teachers who are interested in delivering an engaging and informative curriculum to our SEND students. You will have a passion for one of the following areas – Humanities or Maths. We are also interested in teachers committed to SEND.
If this sounds like you, we’d love for you to join our friendly and dedicated team.
What it's like to work at Churchward:
1. "Coming from different settings, I have never felt as supported or valued as a teacher as I do at Churchward. I love working with the staff and students and enjoy coming to work every day. Each day is different, and I like the variety that brings."
2. "I enjoy working at Churchward School because I like to feel that I and my work colleagues are making a difference to the lives of our students. These are students that now have a place to thrive and mix with others who are in some ways like them, they have a sense of belonging and acceptance. No student is the same but all have the same from staff and that is a caring family."
3. "Seeing smiling faces, laughs and enjoyment of being at school is a great achievement for the majority of our students. Knowing that we as staff will try our hardest to give them the best education and support to achieve their goals, aspirations and a way to cope in the wider world. It's a great pleasure to work at Churchward and to call this my family."
Churchward School is proud to be part of Brunel Academies Trust - a growing educational community with no barriers, only potential. We strive to significantly improve the life chances and outcomes for our CYP within our SEND, CofE and mainstream EPs.
