Maypole School is an independent special school who work with pupils aged 5 – 19 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan. Many present with some challenging behaviour and may have been excluded from mainstream schools.

Our Sunbury school is in Sunbury-on-Thames, at TW16 6QE. The School opened in September 2023 and has an initial capacity of up to 18 pupils, potentially increasing to 27 pupils in 2024/25.

We provide a warm, nurturing, therapeutic approach for our pupils, which also extends to the staff team we work with.

Maypole School provides a wide range of training and career opportunities for teaching assistants, unqualified teachers & teachers.

We are happy to consider people who are wanting to gain experience prior to embarking on a career in a number of different sectors such as: social work; therapy services; educational/clinical psychology etc as well as people who are already teachers (support given for Early Careers Teachers), those who may want to train to become a teacher, and those who wish to develop their skills as teaching assistants.
