Harry Watts Academy is a new specialist free school in Sunderland which opened in September 2020 for autistic pupils aged between five and sixteen years. We pride ourselves on having a shared belief that all children have a right to the best education that can be provided and a learning and working environment where all are respected, valued and achievements celebrated.

Harry Watts Academy is a split site school, with locations in both Sunderland (Redhouse) and Washington (Harraton). Currently, our Engage and Explore pathways are based at Redhouse and our Discover pathway is based at Harraton. You will therefore be willing to teach pupils on any of our three pathways on either of our sites.

The Trust offers the successful candidate:

• A friendly and supportive team of staff who are willing to share expertise and learn from one another

• A supportive Trust, Trustees and Governors

• Further professional development appropriate to the role

• The option to join the Local Government Pension Scheme

The successful candidate will:

• Be an excellent classroom practitioner

• Have excellent understanding of core subjects and how these can be taught to pupils with learning difficulties

• Be an exceptional role model with the highest standards of integrity and a great sense of humour

Prosper Learning Trust was established in January 2018 with Newcastle Bridges School and Mary Astell Academy. Thomas Bewick School joined in 2019 and Harry Watts in September 2020. We are striving to further build collaboration across the schools and grow as a Multi Academy Trust, whilst continuing to strengthen our relationships with schools outside the MAT for the benefit of our pupils.

Required from September 2023, we are looking to appoint teachers with experience and/or interest in teaching pupils with autism and associated difficulties. We value high standards of achievement for all of our pupils and we are looking to appoint excellent teachers who will make a positive contribution to the education of our fantastic pupils at Harry Watts Academy. All pupils have significant learning difficulties and complex needs. The range of abilities ranges from P Levels to lower National Curriculum levels. Although these roles are class based and you will be teaching a full formal/semi-formal curriculum, all teachers do have subject co-ordinator responsibilities; therefore please state your particular curriculum strengths in your application.

Prosper Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and anyone applying to work within the Trust is expected to share this commitment.

This role will include Regulated Activities and an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure is required for this post. Please note that in all cases written references will be taken up and made available to interviewers before the final selection stage; even if you indicate otherwise
