SEN Primary Teacher

About Bradford Beacon School

Bradford Beacon School, opened in September 2025, is a brand‑new specialist independent school for children aged 4-11 with autism and associated complex needs. Set in a purpose‑built, thoughtfully refurbished environment, the school provides a safe, nurturing, and inclusive setting where every child feels valued. Pupils follow a broad, enriched curriculum that develops communication, social, emotional, and life skills alongside academic achievement.

With personalised teaching and therapeutic support from a dedicated staff and clinical team, every child’s individual needs are met. As the school grows to 42 pupils over the next two years, there is an exciting opportunity to help shape its inclusive, supportive culture.
