Thomas Ashton School is an ambitious and rapidly improving SEMH specialist school in Tameside, Greater Manchester. The school is at an exciting juncture in its development and is looking forward to welcoming new Teachers to our expanding specialist team, as part of New Bridge Multi-Academy Trust.

There are currently 108 children aged 5-14 on roll, with projections to grow to 120 by September 2026, enhancing the vibrancy and dynamism of the school community. At the heart of the school ethos is a profound commitment to nurturing the whole child.

The school joined New Bridge MAT in January 2025; a vibrant, aspirational and inclusive multi-academy trust of six special schools and two specialist post-16 provisions across Oldham, Tameside and Rochdale. As part of the wider New Bridge Group there are also two post-19 provisions. The settings support a wide spectrum of needs from age 4-19 and beyond. The Trust is proud to be national leaders in Special Education and has a culture of creating outstanding opportunities for all.

New Bridge MAT have been working with Thomas Ashton School since September 2022 and excellent progress has already been made in establishing robust processes and structures that have had real and impactful improvement and will underpin future success alongside a collective culture of ambition and optimism for the young people. The school is a registered Thrive School which uses trauma informed approaches to education, with a number of trained practitioners on site, and has been awarded an Arts Mark Silver accreditation for its long-term commitments to the arts. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to work with a committed staff team to support students, families and wider stakeholders through the next stage of the school’s transition and beyond.

Due to increased demand in Tameside for places for children with SEMH identified as their primary need, Thomas Ashton School is developing Thomas Ashton Lower site to meet the needs of our pupils.

This is a very exciting time for the school as it continues to develop and enhance all aspects of its provision. If you share this determination and ambition, it offers an outstanding opportunity to develop in a forward thinking and outward looking school and MAT. Your continued development will also be a priority and you will receive excellent support and advice from a talented team of colleagues who will invest in your professional learning.
