Teaching Children with special educational needs is a rich and rewarding experience.

To support more trainee teachers take this career path, Sunningdale School Direct Partnership creates opportunities for graduates to train as primary teachers within our schools.

Our programmes differ from non-SEND courses as they are specifically designed for graduates who would like to train to teach children with special educational needs. The training content covers all requirements that enable students to successfully achieve the Teachers’ Standards for QTS but also provides students with bespoke training to prepare them for working with children with special needs.

To give you a flavour of life in a special needs school and help you decide if working in this fulfilling world is for you, Sunningdale School is hosting an introductory workshop about our teacher training programmes. We will take you on a tour of the school and introduce you to our teachers and children. We will also provide you with information about;

• Our training programmes – in addition to equipping students to teach in mainstream primary schools, the programme provides a deep understanding of strategies used to support the learning of children with special needs.
  School placements
• The application and interview process
• Our mentoring provision
• The accreditation process
• Career opportunities
  Accessing loans and funding

The sessions are informal and there will be lots of opportunities for you to ask any questions you may have.

This workshop is free, but places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
