About the School

We’re delighted to be partnering with a brand-new, purpose-built specialist school in Cricklewood, Brent, which opened its doors in Spring 2025. The school provides a nurturing and inclusive environment for up to 54 students aged 7–16 with Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCPs), primarily presenting with autism and related social communication needs.

The provision has been thoughtfully designed with small class sizes (around six pupils), supported by both a teacher and teaching assistant, ensuring every child receives truly individualised attention. The school offers a calm, low-arousal environment, complete with sensory-friendly spaces and a visual, structured approach to learning.

The curriculum blends academic and creative pathways — combining National Curriculum subjects with outdoor learning, life skills, and community engagement — helping students work towards Unit Awards, Entry Levels, Functional Skills, and GCSEs, while building confidence, independence, and employability.

As the school continues to grow, they are seeking a passionate and skilled Speech and Language Therapist (Band 6) to join their expanding therapy team and play a key role in shaping a high-quality, child-centred provision.
