The school
Ashley College is a pupil referral unit catering for vulnerable pupils with medical health needs. The College provides support up to 20 KS3-KS4 pupils at the centre at any one time.
Ashley College has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and is set in an attractive location that benefits from excellent transport links. Our teachers manage their subject areas. As a small team of dedicated staff, some teach more than one subject so that we can deliver a broad, personalised and diverse curriculum, which caters for the needs of individual pupils in a nurturing environment. Our centre based group sizes are small, with no more than 8 pupils per class and our students make excellent progress from their starting points.
Our teachers provide support and a wide range of qualifications to our students including GCSE and Functional Skills, where relevant. We have an excellent CPD programme rooted in evidence based practice, ample opportunities for collaboration with colleagues, as well as termly staff wellbeing sessions. Staff have free access to 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme. The role advertised is centre based but we also run a home tuition service for KS1-KS4 pupils who cannot attend school.
Our ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ philosophy extends to our therapeutic curriculum and students are taught life skills such as cookery, preparing for work life and also participate in yoga, Qi Gong, gym and gardening.
