Job overview
This is an opportunity to provide SEN teaching as part of an exciting new outreach programme and hub provision, to ensure that students with SEMH needs in the local community have access to an inclusive and engaging education.
We are creating this role to provide local secondary provisions with a bespoke outreach programme and directly support students from The Gryphon Trust and other local secondary schools who require alternative provision. You will be based in a newly refurbished Eaglewood School Hub Provision on site at The Arnewood School.
You will have the responsibility of teaching a bespoke curriculum for students from The Gryphon Trust who are finding mainstream provision challenging and need an alternative approach. The provision will initially meet the needs of 24 students with the aim of students either being taught on site from The Eaglewood School Hub team or utilising staff from the wider Gryphon Trust. Some students may need to further access other alternative provision supported by the Hub team.
The key focus though is on the development of an aspirational curriculum, targeted intervention and relationship-based approach that meets the needs of all learners who access the Hub provision and allows them to thrive.
You will need to demonstrate a successful track record of positive impact on learner outcomes at KS3 level for vulnerable students. Modelling good practice and engaging colleagues by leading with integrity, empathy, positivity, creativity, resilience and clarity is essential in this role.
We would expect a successful candidate to:
- plan and teach well-structured lessons to assigned classes, following the school’s plans, curriculum and schemes of work;
- Assess, monitor, record and report on the learning needs, progress and achievements of assigned students, making accurate and productive use of assessment;
- Adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of students;
- Set high expectations which inspire, motivate and challenge students;
- Promote good progress and outcomes by students;
- Demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge;
- Participate in arrangements for preparing students for external;
- Contribute to the development, implementation and evaluation of the school’s policies, practices and procedures, so as to support the school’s vision and values;
- Make a positive contribution to the wider life and ethos of the school;
- Work with others on curriculum and pupil development to secure co-ordinated outcomes;
If you require any further information or wish to discuss the role in more detail please contact Sarah Gray by email s.gray@eaglewoodschool.co.uk in order to schedule a meeting with The Eaglewood Headteacher, Mark Gilbert.

About The Eaglewood School
The Eaglewood School is an Alternative Provision Free School helping students from Year 6 to Year 11 who struggle to learn in a mainstream educational environment. Recently judged Good in all areas by Ofsted, July 2019, we are a very unique provision. We focus on the barriers to learning of our young people, teaching them not only academically but also emotionally. Students at Eaglewood have regular input on social and emotional regulation, resilience and self-esteem as well as the more traditional academic subjects. By making sure all of our students are Academically Ready, Emotionally Prepared and Feel Good about their next steps we fulfil our mission statement of Raising Aspiration and Changing Lives.
Eaglewood is one of the newest schools in Hampshire, we have created an environment for students to feel safe and supported whatever the issues they are facing. This environment is a key factor in building the trust and developing the relationships which are imperative in order to bring about change. Eaglewood quickly becomes the change catalyst students require when the stresses of mainstream education become too much for them. For some students, many schools appear too big, too busy, too loud or just too confusing for them to cope with. We recognise one size does not fit all, and offer a safe, kind and caring environment which allows students to develop at different ages, at different rates and in different ways
At Eaglewood School our priority is to help find our students balance and purpose and to help them on their next steps. We realise the importance of Emotional Intelligence in helping unlock the potential in a child and helping them find their balance.
Here we provide and environment with a different purpose and priorities, one of care, understanding and kindness where we promote recognition, relationships and routine.
