About the School
This specialist SEND school in Aylesbury provides education for young people aged 11–19 with a variety of additional needs, including:

Sensory and associated additional needs
The school places a strong emphasis on recognising each pupil as an individual, celebrating personal achievements and providing learning opportunities that encourage confidence, independence and personal growth.
Its curriculum combines academic learning with practical life skills, social development, emotional wellbeing and preparation for adulthood.
Pupils benefit from smaller class sizes, enhanced staffing ratios and access to specialist teaching approaches and resources appropriate to their needs.
The school also values practical learning, vocational education and opportunities that help young people develop the skills needed for greater independence and future employment.

Providing individual and small-group support to pupils with special educational needs.

Supporting pupils in developing essential life skills and preparing for adulthood.
Using positive behaviour support strategies to create a calm and productive learning environment.
Helping pupils work towards individual learning targets and EHCP outcomes.

Knowledge of positive behaviour support and differentiated learning.
Experience within a specialist school, mainstream SEND provision or relevant care environment.
