Heron Academy Lambeth (formerly The Michael Tippett School – now part of the London South East Academies Trust) is a secondary school for pupils with complex learning and medical needs.
Skills and Experience
We would love to hear from you if you are a qualified and experience SEN Teacher with specific experience of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with the skills to plan and deliver high quality lessons to suit pupils’ individual learning needs and to provide professional leadership and direction within your own curriculum area.
To be successful in this role, you will be an effective and reflective classroom teacher able to demonstrate and share good practice in the field of ASD in a secondary/post 16 setting.
The Heron Academy is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of pupils. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before taking up post.
London South East Academies Trust
London South East Academies Trust currently comprises eight schools, providing high quality education for 5-19-year olds across the boroughs of Bromley and Bexley. Our schools, all rated Good by Ofsted, include a mainstream primary alongside special and alternative provision.
Formerly known as Bromley Educational Trust, our expanding multi academy trust was renamed in 2016, reflecting our aim to develop excellent education across the wider region.
As the Trust supports a number of children and vulnerable adults, all staff are exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Accordingly, all staff will be subject to an ‘Enhanced’ DBS (formerly CRB) check, along with a Children’s Barred List check if in regulated activity. Any offers of appointment may be withdrawn if these checks prove to be unsatisfactory to the Trust. Self-disclosure will be required as part of the recruitment process. If you fail to make a full disclosure or provide sight of your DBS certificate then your offer of employment is likely to be withdrawn. The Trust's DBS policy covers the recruitment of ex-offenders which is available upon request.
About Heron Academy
Heron Academy is located in Lambeth and supports around 80 11-18-year-olds with a range of special needs, including ASD and severe and profound multiple learning difficulties.
Formerly known as The Michael Tippett School, Heron Academy is on a journey of rapid improvement, ensuring that every child and young person is supported to achieve their full potential.
A new Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team have been put in place, together with the introduction of a new uniform and a range of improvements made to the building and learning environment.
Each pupil has a personalised curriculum to meet their unique needs and to help them meet their individual targets. Our specialist staff are committed to supporting this and work in partnership with parents and carers to achieve the very best outcomes for every child and young person.
With specialist facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, sensory room and a life skills area, pupils can access a wide curriculum and enrichment programme to meet their physical, academic and emotional needs. This is an evolving and creative offer, supporting personal development and focused on meeting individual EHCP outcomes.
Heron Academy has a calm and nurturing environment. We are extremely proud of the care and support we offer to our children, as we prepare them for the next steps in their lives.
