We have around 300 very special reasons why you should join us at Rumworth School, and they can’t wait to meet you! We are looking to recruit 4 temporary teachers, initially on a one-year fixed term contract. These posts are available due to a combination of maternity leave and our identified need to provide additional teaching capacity in the core subjects of English and Maths as part of our post-pandemic recovery curriculum.
We are an “Outstanding” LA maintained special school looking for the very best teachers who can offer a variety of specialisms, to work within and/or across the differing strands and key stages of our provision. Rumworth School is a special school catering for children aged 11-19 who all have an EHCP. Our students have a wide range of SEND including MLD, SLD, ASD and other complex needs, physical disabilities, HI, VI and SLCN.
Our ethos is “Start with the young person”. You will be a champion for education as a vehicle to improve the life chances and outcomes for our students. Our vision is “You can do it, we will help” and so you will embody our philosophy of supporting young people to be more “Confident, Resilient and Independent”.
In Year 7, students have a more class-based curriculum with their class teacher delivering the majority of their learning within a “Foundation Year” setting. Year 7 students also access specialist rooms and may be taught by other staff for lessons such as Forest Schools, Art, Music, Dance, PE, Science, ICT, and Design Technology.
Students in Years 8 to 11 then follow a differentiated curriculum model, according to their needs:-
All students access appropriate external accreditation at the end of KS4 and during KS5, and our offer includes GCSEs, ASDAN, BTEC, Functional Skills and Entry Level Certification, dependent upon student ability.
In KS5, students continue to follow the most suitable curriculum for their ability, and we then offer a Year 14 Transition where some students continue on to the “Pathway to Employment” route, and those with more severe learning difficulties and complex needs would usually follow a “Pathway to Independence” route.
We are keen to recruit staff of the highest calibre, and what matters most is that you are the “right fit” for our students. We welcome applications from suitably qualified and experienced candidates with the right skill set, and who have primary and / or secondary mainstream and / or SEND experience.
