Further Information
Working at Highbury is incredibly rewarding. We work with amazing children who astound us everyday with their determination, enthusiasm and outlook. There is never a dull moment at Highbury and the rewards we get from supporting children with special educational needs to reach their potential are priceless!
We have an excellent team of people who can support you to develop your skills and knowledge in order to be fulfilled and successful in this important role. We would particularly like to hear from staff who have experience of working in a setting to support children with special educational needs or those who may have worked 1:1 with children in mainstream schools and are keen to work in a whole school setting. Equally, we offer high quality training and support for people with the right skills and attitude.
We are a very supportive school who are great at talent spotting and noticing people who have the potential to grow in this role. This is an exciting time as we look to increase the number of children who attend our school as well as develop our Field Lane site.
