Information relating to the wider school:
Rumworth School is an “Outstanding” LA maintained special school in Bolton catering for children aged 11-19 who all have an Education Health Care Plan. We currently have 338 students on roll, which will increase in September 2025, with a wide range of Special Educational Needs & Disabilities including; Moderate Learning Difficulty, Severe Learning Difficulty, Autistic Spectrum Conditions and other complex needs, Physical Disabilities, Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment and Speech Language & Communication Needs. Visitors to our school always comment on the “lovely feeling and buzz” and the calm & purposeful learning environment. In September 2025 we will have around an increase of students with a range of needs. Our students are aged 11-19 and they all have an EHCP because they have a range of SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).
Our ethos is “Start with the young person”. As a member of our staff team, you will be a champion for education as a vehicle to improve the life chances and outcomes for our students. Our vision is “You can do it, we will help” and so you will embody our philosophy of supporting young people to be more “Confident, Resilient and Independent”.
In Year 7, all students have a more class-based curriculum with their class teacher delivering the majority of their learning within our “Foundation Year” setting. Year 7 students also access specialist rooms and may be taught by other staff for lessons such as Forest Schools, Art, Music, Dance, PE, Science, ICT, and Design Technology.
Students in Years 8 to 11 then follow a differentiated curriculum model, according to their needs:-
Some follow a more formal curriculum with a modified mainstream approach
Some have less transition and spend more time on the consolidation of basic skills
Some have particular SLD / ASD / SEMH needs and may benefit from working in smaller groups at times
All students access appropriate external accreditation at the end of KS4 and during KS5, and our offer includes GCSEs, ASDAN, BTEC, Functional Skills and Entry Level Certification, dependent upon student ability.
In KS5, students continue to follow the most suitable curriculum pathway for their ability and their aspirations, and we then offer a Year 14 Transition where some students continue on to the “Pathway to Employment” route, and those with more severe learning difficulties and complex needs would usually follow a “Pathway to Independence” route.
We are always keen to recruit staff of the highest calibre, and what matters most to us is that you are the “right fit” for our students. We welcome applications from people with experience in primary schools, as well as those with secondary school experience, and those with SEND special school experience.
