I would like to introduce you to Southport Learning Trust which has grown to eight schools since its inception in 2017.

Through the extensive collaborative approach with our schools across the Trust we are able to highlight challenges and develop creative responses to positively impact our children and school communities. Throughout the country we are experiencing a significant increase in the number of young people with a range of challenges in successfully accessing the mainstream curriculum in KS3.

The vision of this provision is to reignite the dreams and aspirations of students who have disconnected with mainstream school. Through a creative personalised curriculum students will explore their futures while developing the skills and attributes to make their aspirations a reality. ​The provision will provide expert therapeutic support that will allow students and professionals to work in partnership to develop a strategic approach supporting positive reintegration back into our mainstream curriculum's.

This is a potentially career defining role for the right candidate. The Trust are committed in providing a highly ambitious and inclusive provision for our young people that will require candidates who share that vision and can evidence the skill, creativity and commitment to implement this unique provision.

The location of the provision will adjoin our Trust office site based at Southport College and will provide unique access to stakeholders committed to supporting this ambitious provision.
