Blanche Nevile School for Deaf Children, North London
We are an exciting, innovative and successful provision for deaf children aged 3 – 16. The Primary school is co-located with Highgate Primary School and the Secondary school is co-located with Fortismere School, Muswell Hill. We offer the best of both worlds through quality inclusion and small class specialist teaching. We are looking for an excellent EYFS practitioner to join our skilled team of deaf and hearing staff with a commitment to a child centred, sign bilingual approach.

The school is on a journey to ‘Outstanding’ following a ‘Good’ Ofsted (February 2023).
“Pupils enjoy coming to this special school. They feel safe and they are happy. All pupils learn British Sign Language (BSL) as well as English. Communication threads through everything at the school. BSL is a vital and vibrant aspect of school life. Pupils and adults communicate throughout the day with humour and warmth.” (Ofsted 2023).

The successful candidate will:
• have experience of teaching in EYFS, KS1 or KS2
• promote effective inclusive education for deaf pupils
• have high expectations and excellent planning and differentiation skills
• have knowledge of British Sign Language or a commitment to work towards a minimum BSL Level 3
• have excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• be flexible with a commitment to work in partnership with a mainstream team

A Teacher of Deaf Children and Young People (ToD) qualification is desirable but not essential. However, the successful applicant would be supported to undergo training in due course to gain this mandatory qualification if they did not already hold it. This would be funded by the school. Additional support and training will be given as required.

As we are advertising this post with a flexible start date, the days worked could also be negotiated, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss the role with interested candidates. Informal visits are warmly welcomed by appointment. Please email [email protected]
