HAT schools have very close links and some shared staff. Required from January 2025 (an earlier start may be considered) Key Stage 3 Learn it All Provision (LIA) Leader TLR 2a (currently £3,213 FTE per annum, pending pay award) Fixed term to 31st August 2026 in the first instance We are looking for a creative, skilled and resilient teacher to lead a new initiative to provide personalised support for a small group of Key Stage 3 students who require targeted intervention to achieve their full potential. The LIA initiative aims to offer a very supported programme for learners who we identify as vulnerable to becoming NEET (Not in Education Employment & Training) in later adolescence. It is recognised that certain factors place a young person at higher risk of disengagement from education, such as coming from a disadvantaged background, having a chaotic home-life or having a special educational need or disability. From our experience, the signs of disengagement can become evident early on in a young person's secondary school career and what we are proposing is a timely, structured intervention designed to re-engage the participants with education and motivate them to consider the prospect of future training and entering the work place. In our view, some of the issues which lead to failure at school (e.g. poor attendance, fear of underachievement, lack of inter-personal skills etc.), become even greater barriers to preventing success in adult life. Therefore, early intervention could enhance a young person's life chances for many years and massively increases their prospects of being work-place ready in their late teens. The focus of this provision is to provide both intensive 'catch-up' teaching and support with social skills, which allows for a more gradual transition into all mainstream classes at the school. The LIA will provide a blend of small group teaching, a personalised programme, emotional literacy support whilst maintaining full access to the mainstream curriculum offered at Hampton Gardens School. Intensive support will be provided for targeted students by developing personalised pathways to meet the needs of the individual student. The LIA will also provide care and support for students by encouraging them to develop good relationships with others, self-reliance and self-esteem, and independence in preparation for life beyond the School. The successful applicant will:

• Possess the ability to inspire and motivate students and have a passion for teaching and learning.
• Have consistently high expectations, with the drive to help all students achieve their full potential.
• Be an exceptional team player who enjoys supporting and working collaboratively with others.
• Have the skill to form positive relationships with all staff, students and parents.
• Share our vision to deliver outstanding education for children and young adults and the commitment to make a difference to outcomes and achievements of students who attend HAT schools.
