GSL Education are working with a SEND School in Bordon, who focus on supporting students with multiple learning difficulties. Looking to recruit Learning Support staff and Teaching Assistants to join the school as soon as possible.
Learners with more complex needs engage in a non-subject-specific curriculum that concentrates on the progress of their communication, personal, social and emotional and physical development. The key focus is on supporting the pupils to develop the skills and behaviours needed to learn.
About the Academy:
The school supports pupils aged 4 to 19 with complex learning needs, providing a nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential. They have a dedicated team of highly trained staff who work closely with each child’s strengths, setting high but achievable expectations. All students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), and benefit from a collaborative approach involving therapists, medical professionals, and specialist teachers. A range of on-site therapies, including speech and language, occupational, and physiotherapy, is available to support pupils' individual needs. Personal development—spiritual, moral, social, and cultural—is central to their ethos, helping students gain independence and prepare for adult life. A full-time nurse is also based on site to support pupil well-being.
