The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum at Key Stage 3 with a healthy emphasis on creative subjects and a full range of GCSE and Advanced Level subjects.
If you would like to teach to the full spectrum of demand, from those with specific learning difficulties to unconventional thinkers and future Russell Group students, Bewdley will not disappoint.

We are seeking a specialist Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) manager with the skills and experience to work with the SENDCo to manage reviews and provision arrangements for students with EHCPs. This new role has arisen in response to the substantially increased number of students in the school with EHCPs, which is currently around 50. It will include managing consultation responses and specialist evaluations, compiling and synthesizing this information to inform review and planning meetings. The role will also entail deployment of learning support staff and supporting learning across the school.

• Liaise with colleagues to compile evidence to inform in school intervention work and external referrals
• Support with the day-to-day deployment of the Teaching Assistant team
• Support with whole school learning strategies as and when the need arises
A detailed job description will be agreed with the successful candidate, as this is a new role for the school. Teaching experience is essential, as everything related to EHCP provision in a mainstream school is related to making lessons accessible, by scaffolding cognitive, social and emotional support in a classroom setting.
