Summit Point School is a unique, independent school dedicated to supporting neurodiverse students through evidence-based, individualised, and concept-driven learning. Our approach integrates structured literacy, creative problem-solving, and hands‑on, project-based learning within a small, inclusive, and highly supportive environment.

We are seeking a passionate, innovative teacher to join our team full‑time. This is a rare opportunity to work with a small group of students (typically 12 per class) in a school that values connection, creativity, and collaboration.

About the role :

  • Teach and support students with specific learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles.
  • Work within a multi‑disciplinary, highly experienced team that values restorative practice, positive psychology, and neuro‑affirming education.
  • Deliver an integrated curriculum that connects academic learning to real-world experiences.
  • Contribute to ongoing curriculum design and innovation in a school that is growing and evolving.

What we offer :

  • A genuinely supportive and collaborative teaching environment.
  • Extensive professional development opportunities in structured literacy and language development, authentic neurodiversity-centered education.
  • Small class sizes that allow for deep, individualised teaching.
  • A creative, project-based curriculum (allowing for flexibility and fun), in a forward-thinking culture.
  • About you :

  • You are an empathetic, flexible, and reflective educator who thrives in a dynamic, student-centered setting. You understand that learning differences are learning strengths and are committed to helping every student reach their potential.
  • Strengths in maths is an advantage.
  • Experience with structured literacy, specialist education, or Orton‑Gillingham, Science of Reading-aligned approaches are also an advantage, but full training is provided.
  • How to apply
