Barlow Hall Primary School and Children’s Centre is located in Chorlton, Manchester. We currently have 242 children on roll and we operate as a one form entry school. We are extremely proud of our diverse and inclusive school. Approximately 56% of our pupils are eligible for pupil premium funding, and 36% of our learners are identified as having a special educational need.
To join our team, you will need to have a strong commitment to pupil’s learning, as well as caring and supportive qualities. Our children’s personal development and their achievements are very important and the adults at Barlow Hall work with great dedication and enthusiasm to make sure that each child achieves the very best they can.
You will need to understand the urban context of our school. It can be a challenging and also a very rewarding place to work. We can offer the successful candidate an enjoyable workplace with highly trained, dedicated and supportive staff as well as a commitment to your own learning journey and continuing professional development.
This post will involve supporting children who are in our specialist Resource Provision, working alongside our specialist teacher. This will involve working directly with the children in small group or one to one teaching, as well as occasionally supporting them in their mainstream classrooms. It will require some liaising with external agencies, such as Speech & Language and Occupational Therapy in order to deliver the children’s bespoke programmes. There will be support required during unstructured times such as break and lunch times, in order to facilitate and co-ordinate activities promoting social interactions between pupils.
You will work under the direction of the Head of School and an Assistant Headteacher and will be supported by our specialist staff.
The closing date for applications is Friday 13 th June at 12.00pm and shortlisting will take place on that date.
