SEND Class Teacher
Hopescourt School
Thank you for your interest in Hopescourt School, an all-through special school within Bourne Education Trust, supporting children with Autism and related communication and interaction needs.
Since opening in September 2024, Hopescourt has grown into a school where learners exceed expectations. Our growth continues as we have recently moved into our new purpose-built school on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames - a learning environment designed specifically to meet the needs of our children.
Our new building features flexible classrooms, therapy spaces and communal areas supporting independence, collaboration and wellbeing. Here, pupils will access specialist support alongside high-quality subject teaching, combining the best of mainstream and specialist education to ensure they can make excellent academic progress while developing socially and personally. At Hopescourt, we believe no child should ever have a glass ceiling placed on them. Every learner deserves the opportunity to succeed, and our mission is to break down barriers and prepare them for life beyond school.
As our school grows, we are looking to expand our teaching staff to meet this important stage in our development. This is an opportunity to be part of a brilliant and growing staff team, contribute to curriculum development, and help shape practice and culture as the school continues to evolve.
The Role
As Class Teacher you will be responsible for the learning, progress and wellbeing of pupils within your class. You will deliver high-quality teaching, adapting curriculum and approaches to meet a wide range of needs, and working closely with specialist staff to ensure pupils can access learning and make progress.
