Don’t judge a book by its cover – come and broaden your horizons!’


Fixed term contract.
 
Thomas Hindwell Primary Academy is a one and a half form entry primary (265 on roll and rising) with big ambitions as we continue to broaden our horizons for our children and our staff team. Over the last year we have overhauled our curriculum, leadership structure, provision, and learning environments and we enter 2019 looking very much to the future.

As a school we are very much a ‘sleeping giant’ and while our new approaches will take time to further embed we are seeing positive results. As a school we have adopted Talk for Writing, Effective Maths, a new Core Knowledge Curriculum and become an outward facing school working with our coastal primary partners to transform our children’s lives.
 
We are part of the David Ross Education Trust which is a family of 34 primary and secondary schools. As a staff colleague you will access CPD available locally as well as accessing leading teaching and leadership programmes through our Trust networks. Our ongoing development in terms of educational achievement and commitment to raising standards on the coast is at the forefront of our thinking – and we now have a Research Arm, a great enrichment programme and work closely as a partner of the Scarborough and Esk Valley Teaching Alliances.
 
Our opportunity
We are looking to appoint a colleague to support and guide one of our Year one pupils who is hearing impaired. Working closely with the designated Teacher of the Deaf through the Local Authority you will provide the communication support and help make sure the learning provided is adapted accordingly. While we are looking for current or prior experience of working with Deaf children you will work closely with our support staff and the LA specialist who will be in school at least every 2 weeks.
 
We are looking for: 

·       Current or prior experience of working with Deaf children 

·       A good understanding of the needs of Deaf pupils and strategies that will help ensure they make progress 

·       A colleague who is supportive, nurturing and seeks to make learning exciting and a positive experience

 
We can offer you: 

·       A school with a renewed focus who puts pastoral and nurture provision at its heart and an aspirational outlook for our children

·       An opportunity to be in a school that is rapidly improving

·       Happy, enthusiastic children who are thriving and have a thirst for learning 

·       A school which has had its learning environments inside and out redesigned and reworked to fully met the expectations of our children and staff 

·       An opportunity to work with an experienced and committed team and be part of a Trust which is diverse and puts the community at the heart of its agenda.

 
Join us and build a wonderful career in a school you are passionate about. Please contact the school office for more details.

 

We strongly recommend that you visit us so that we can share with you why we are so proud of our school, and you will get a chance to see what we have to offer. Please contact the school office on 01723 373110.

 

For an informal conversation you are welcome to contact James at North Yorkshire County Council at [email protected] or call 01609 534939/ 07966261249. 

Closing date: Wednesday 11th December 2019.

Interviews will be held on the 16th December 2019.

    • I found https://www.flirtini.com/asian.html while browsing for something a little different. I’d never really explored this kind of niche before, but something about it drew me in. The site makes it easy to start chatting right away, and the energy is sexy but relaxed. The women I’ve met so far are playful, curious, and not shy about what they want. It’s such a fun vibe — the kind that keeps you hooked longer than you planned.
    • Hi all I am Stella.  I am retired with two dogs who keep me very busy.  I have Menieres disease and five years ago I woke up and found I was totally deaf. My hearing never returned and I have felt isolated since then. I have started learning BSL on line this week and hope to join a course in September.  I have a long way to go but now I see some light at the end of the tunnel. 
    • Frankly, it's really worth finding such a site, because it can certainly help solve problems
    • It would really help me a lot, because I have been looking for a place for a long time
    • Hey Guys! I'm Alex and I'm 18. I first became fascinated with BSL and interested in learning it when my mum became a teacher. She teaches SEN and is very passionate about ensuring Special Needs children experience the same level of understanding and communication of education as everyone else. 
    • Hi I'm Janey, 59 years old & 3 months into learning BSL on-line.  Practising getting up to speed with finger signing challenge exercises (still on medium speed).  Can finger sign very slowly, struggling with numbers & remembering other signs but loving it.  Thinking about college & volunteering next as I want to work in this field.
    • Hello! My name is Hannah. I am a nurse (student) and I am 20 years old.    I wanted to learn BSL after spending some time working with my local Deaf CAMHS service. I have always been interested in learning BSL but now I'm finally doing it! I wasn't sure how it would work with my disability so if anyone has any tips particularly on finger spelling I would be very grateful.
