SEN Teacher

Situated in Foxton, south west of Cambridge, Selwyn Hall School provides specialist education for 7-18 year olds with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties (SEMH). Our pupils may have a number of diagnoses including: ASD, ADHD, FASD, anxiety and/or, communication and interaction, cognition, and learning needs.

The school is situated within large private grounds to create a therapeutic environment that enables us to focus on the health and wellbeing of our pupils. We have space for a range of outdoor learning experiences including Forest School. The external grounds will feature a multi-use sports pitch, sensory trail, conservation area and play equipment.

Our curriculum enables our pupils to develop their personal, emotional, social and academic skills and knowledge.

Within our School we have two approaches to teaching and learning areas. Where the pupils are placed is carefully considered and will best meet the needs of the individual pupil.

We have a Lower School area in school where pupils have a classroom base and are taught by their class teacher supported by a Learning Support Assistant. This area in school offers consistency and a secure nurturing approach.

We also have an Upper School provision to follow a model where pupils move around classrooms with subject specific teaching in Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Art & DT, Performing Arts, Modern Foreign Languages, Computing, PSHE, PE, Outdoor Education, Life Skills and Cooking. This approach may be better suited to pupils who need an approach nearer to that of a mainstream secondary school
