Those Huge Small VictoriesOur teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There’s lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge small victories and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.Get out what you put inYou’ll be teaching secondary-aged pupils in Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

One of the best environments in SENDThe transformational effect of Avon Park School is consistently witnessed by parents, carers and professionals alike.

All school staff, including teaching, pastoral and therapy, work in a truly collaborative way to ensure each pupil not only develops academically but also emotionally and personally.
