Reporting to: Headteacher

 Camberwell Park are on an exciting journey of rapid improvement since our February 2024 Ofsted. There is a strong leadership team in place and the school is moving forwards at pace. We are looking to expand our leadership team further by appointing an outstanding teaching practitioner who is committed to providing high quality teaching and learning to ensure our pupils achieve the best possible outcomes. In April 2025 Camberwell Park will be joining the Prospere learning Trust. The Trust has 5 special schools catering for pupils across Greater Manchester from aged 3 to 19 years, offering an outstanding education with excellent outcomes for all pupils. All special schools have an Outstanding Ofsted rating. In addition the Trust has 4 mainstream high schools with Good Ofsted ratings.

‘Pupils enjoy being at this school because they feel cared for and safe. This helps them to feel happy.’

‘Pupils experience a broad range of opportunities to support their communication, social and physical development.’
