This is a very exciting time to join The Calder Learning Trust. Having recently become a 4-16 All-Through school we are currently developing both the estate and the curriculum to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest standards of education across all areas of the trust.

The Calder Learning Trust employs rolling recruitment methodologies, with shortlisting and interviews for some roles taking place as and when applications are received.

This may mean that some roles are recruited before the closing date, and therefore advise that applications are made without undue delay.

We have maintained the high standards that brought our 'good' judgement across all areas of the school and kept our outcomes in the top 20% of schools nationally and the top 10% schools locally.

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated, well-qualified and committed Teacher of SEND, to drive developments in teaching and learning and work with the team to raise attainment SEND within Key Stage 3. The role will continue our work to improve both provision and outcomes for SEND children.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher with Secondary experience to develop their understanding and practice of working in SEND or for someone starting their career as a Primary specialist who wishes to gain experience of SEND within a secondary setting. The Calder Learning Trust is a wonderful place to work, set in the fabulous countryside of the Calder Valley, but within commutable distance of Leeds and Manchester. We have a diverse student population who are friendly, creative and articulate. We strive to be a Trust that truly provides opportunities for 'Everybody, Everyday'.

Staff at the Trust benefit from a culture which pays real attention to staff wellbeing and workload and provides many opportunities for continuous professional development through coaching, drawing on evidenced based research to make improvements to teaching, learning and the curriculum.

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and life experiences. We would very much encourage candidates to arrange a visit to see the school for themselves.
