The Porch is a KS4 and 5 provision for vulnerable, disengaged students with SEBD and / or SEN who are unable to access other mainstream or alternative education.

The ACS provides appropriate, targeted education for students who have struggled to access mainstream education.
The focus of the service is to engage students during their final two years of formal education, provide opportunities for KS5 vulnerable learners, prepare students for national qualifications as appropriate, and offer support and guidance with post 16 choices.
The post holder will be instrumental in setting up the new KS5 provision and ensuring a smooth transition to the new premises.

Applicants must have good management and leadership skills, be enthusiastic, flexible, practical and resourceful as well as being able to support students who can sometimes become angry or distressed. Recent experience of working with challenging young people in an educational environment will be an advantage.
“This School is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Criminal Records Bureau / ISA checks along with other relevant employment checks.”
