ARB Class Teacher

Truro and Penwith Academy Trust, together with Pensans School, are seeking to appoint a dynamic and committed Class Teacher in the ARB teaching team. You’ll be an experienced SEN teacher with a passion for supporting pupils with special educational needs to access their full potential in this specialist provision within a mainstream school. All pupils who access the ARB provision at Pensans have an EHCP with a range of special educational needs, in particular with Communication and Interaction. Working closely with the EYFS/KS1 ARB Teacher, SENCO and other senior colleagues, you’ll use your classroom skills to manage provision in your class and to provide support to others to ensure the best possible learning and personal outcomes for young people with SEN needs in a specialist provision. This is a diverse role that will see you working alongside your ARB teaching colleague, planning for and teaching pupils across KS2 with an understanding of the different levels at which pupils access their academic learning. About You: You will have responsibility for planning engaging topics and lessons which cover the full primary curriculum, ensuring the SEN TAs are appropriately deployed so that all pupils are supported and can reach their full potential while engaging with other professionals to ensure pupil’s targets are met. You will be an out of the box thinker who can plan creative activities which engage pupils while helping them to move forward within their learning. Inclusive practices are at the heart of all that we do here at Pensans School and you will also be working alongside mainstream colleagues to ensure pupils have opportunities to engage with their mainstream link classes. You will use a range of assessment formats including Evidence for Learning, Insight and the National Curriculum to track pupils’ progress. At Pensans ARB we aim to ensure all pupils can apply their skills outside of the classroom. As part of the ARB team you will be leading trips with the pupils and taking learning outside of the classroom where pupils can use the skills they have learned. Pensans School is set in extensive grounds with a woodland area supporting Forest School activities. If you feel you have the passion to make a difference to the lives of our children, we would very much like to hear from you. Visits to the school are encouraged – please telephone to arrange a date. This is an exciting time to join our school. Our staff are our most important resource and the successful candidate will have our full support in their continuing professional development.
