GLENWOOD SECONDARY SPECIAL SCHOOL
Glenwood is a special school for children experiencing complex needs associated with learning difficulties, including children with Autistic Spectrum Conditions.
The school works with pupils from years 7 to 11 (KS3 and KS4). An integral part of the work undertaken involves working in partnership with parents and also with a number of outside agencies to inform, assess and support in the decision-making process relating to the child’s future education and life beyond school.
The key aim of the school is to enable each child to achieve his/her maximum potential while raising their self-confidence, self-esteem and working towards greater levels of independence. There is an emphasis on promoting a positive environment in which pupils learn to stay safe and healthy, make good choices and become part of their community.
This is a new role within the school to support first aid and pupils’ welfare. You will ideally have some first aid/pastoral experience and at times you may be required to support pupils in a classroom environment.
At Glenwood School:
- we work together as a motivated and dedicated team to make a difference to our children and their families.
- we actively encourage confidence in pupils to enable them to flourish and achieve as individuals, nurturing their creative skills and learning to make a difference.
- we provide a wide ranging and creative curriculum with an emphasis on communication and life skills, so that our pupils grow up to lead an independent life, as possible, and where they make decisions about their participation in their community.
- parents know that they are partners in their children’s education, working hand in hand with the school.
- Governors act as critical friends, challenging and creating the forward momentum towards a good school.
