Qualifications / Experience (Questions for Applicants)

2. This role involves supporting pupils with personal care needs, including feeding, toileting, changing, and swimming. Are you comfortable with these responsibilities, and can you share any relevant experience?
3. How do you build trusting relationships with pupils, families, and colleagues in a specialist school setting? Why is this important?
4. What excites you about the opportunity to train as a teacher at Amwell View School & Specialist Sports College, and how do you see this role supporting your long-term career goals in SEN education?
5. All staff working in schools must be aware of issues concerning confidentiality. They build trust with parents, children, and colleagues, and any information shared must be handled with care. A breach of confidentiality, even unintentionally, can damage relationships and trust. Schools also have a legal obligation to keep records of children and staff secure and confidential. Reflecting on this, what does confidentiality mean to you in a school setting? Please include how you would approach the use of IT systems and social media in line with safeguarding and professional expectations.
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children with severe learning difficulties? Do you thrive in dynamic environments where no two days are the same? If so, Amwell View School & Specialist Sports College invites you to become a part of our dedicated team!
