Are you a passionate and dedicated Teacher looking for an exciting new opportunity? We are seeking a full-time, permanent Teacher to join our expanding team in Tokers Green, Reading, starting in September 2025.
About Us
We are a recently established specialist school that opened in November 2024, providing tailored support to young people aged 6-16. Our students have diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder, moderate to severe learning needs, and associated difficulties, benefiting from our individualised and specialist approach.
Our team is deeply committed to providing the best possible outcomes for our students, preparing them for adult life. Our school ethos is built upon core values that promote the development of the whole child as an effective and engaged learner within a calm, caring, happy, and purposeful atmosphere. We believe in supporting each student to progress at their own level within a learning environment designed to help them achieve their full potential.
