This is a truly exciting opportunity to join our ACE Tiverton family by leading our Year 7 Engage Pathway Class—an important aspect of our established Engage Pathway and whole school nurture provision.

We are proud of the success of our Pathway 1 (based on the nurture principles) classes across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage
4. This role establishes this approach from the point that our students join our school family. The Engage Pathway enables us to support students across our full age and ability range with a consistently relational, highly personalised approach. Each class benefits from the support of a dedicated Teaching Assistant and a linked member of our Student & Family Support Team, forming a wraparound network that helps every child make progress academically, socially, and emotionally.

At ACE Tiverton, a member of Reach South Multi-Academy Trust, we believe exceptional schools are built by exceptional people. We are a team of talented, compassionate and dedicated professionals who share our commitment to ensuring that every young person can thrive, succeed and develop the confidence, skills and independence needed for lifelong success.

ACE Tiverton is a thriving special school for students aged 11 to 16. Since opening in September 2019 with just 35 students, we have grown to serve more than 120 young people from across Devon. As part of Reach South Academy Trust, we support students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), primarily relating to Communication and Interaction needs, alongside sensory, medical, emotional and mental health needs.

Our students are extraordinary young people with unique strengths, interests and aspirations. We are ambitious for every one of them, believing that with the right support, meaningful relationships and high expectations they can flourish both academically and personally.

At the heart of our school is a culture of belonging. We are proud to be a school family where every individual is known, valued and respected. Relationships are the foundation of everything we do. Our students thrive because they are surrounded by adults who genuinely care, take time to understand their stories and are committed to helping them achieve their potential.

Guided by a philosophy of unconditional positive regard, we recognise that every day offers a fresh opportunity to learn, grow and succeed. Working at ACE Tiverton is both rewarding and inspiring - no two days are the same. Our students will challenge you to think creatively, reflect deeply and continually develop your practice. In return, they will reward you with their honesty, humour, resilience and achievements.

The impact you make here will be felt long after a student leaves our school.

We are fortunate to have a talented, supportive and dedicated team who work together to create a nurturing, inclusive and aspirational environment. Together, we strive to ensure every student leaves us as a confident young adult, well prepared for further education, employment and adulthood so they are well prepared for Learning for Lifelong Success.
