New Leaf School is the only Key Stage 1, 2, and 3 Pupil Referral Unit in Walsall. Most pupils are placed at New Leaf for social and emotional reasons, often resulting in resistance to learning. Many students do not have learning difficulties but find learning challenging and need a different approach. The ability to engage with challenging and vulnerable learners is essential for this role. When the structures around learning are effective, pupils can settle and make rapid, sustained progress.
Most pupils have experienced significant social and school exclusion, and New Leaf School works to mitigate these disadvantages. Our staff are dedicated, experienced, friendly, and supportive. Visits to our school are encouraged.
The Mercian Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. The position is subject to vetting procedures, including a DBS check, requiring disclosure of all unspent and certain spent convictions and warnings.
Applications should be returned by the closing date: Monday 7th July 2025
