Those Huge Small Victories
Our teachers are fulfilled by making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, celebrating the little things. There are many ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories, and while they may seem small, they make a big difference.
Get out what you put in
You’ll work with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Your role is to help them learn, develop their abilities, and boost their self-esteem. Resilience and dedication are essential, but the huge small victories you achieve will be incredibly rewarding.
It can be challenging, but positive progress will outweigh the difficulties. As a Science Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll receive full support, including access to in-house psychologists, teaching assistants, and therapy professionals. Our colleagues are highly skilled, our school environments are well-resourced, and we’re committed to supporting your career development.
One of the best environments in SEND
The transformational impact of Avon Park School is recognized by parents, carers, and professionals. The school’s ability to connect and engage with pupils stems from its strong ethos of "high expectations and aspirations for every child," which recently earned an Outstanding rating by Ofsted.
All staff, including teaching, pastoral, and therapy teams, collaborate to ensure each pupil develops academically, emotionally, and personally. This whole-school approach helps pupils with ADHD, ASD, Asperger’s, or SEMH grow into capable and confident young people eager to succeed.
