A
qualified teacher with UK QTS (or equivalent)
Passionate about inclusive education and supporting children with autism and complex needs
A creative, reflective practitioner who inspires curiosity and joy in learning
At Copper Fields, you’ll be part of a supportive community that values creativity, compassion, and your journey just as much as our pupils’.
