Barrs Court School, part of Accordia Academies Trust, is a welcoming and forward-thinking special school for pupils
aged 11–19 with a wide range of complex additional learning needs, including autism and profound and multiple
learning difficulties.
We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Class Teacher to join our dedicated team. You will teach a small class of
learners, delivering creative, inclusive lessons as part of our Entitlement Curriculum. Working with a team of Teaching
Assistants, you will nurture independence, communication, and confidence, helping every pupil to achieve their
potential.
Applicants should hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and demonstrate a passion for supporting pupils with
additional learning needs. Experience in special education or training such as Trauma-Informed Practice, PECS,
Makaton, or Thrive would be an advantage but is not essential. We welcome applications from teachers in both

Academies Trust.
