About us:
Silverways School in Enfield provides specialist support for children with autism and associated needs in a carefully designed environment.
Our welcoming and nurturing school provides a first-class education for up to 50 children aged between seven and 17, in small classes, where the curriculum is broad, balanced and ambitious,
Many of the children at Silverways have found mainstream education challenging and, in some circumstances, traumatic. Some children will have been out of education or have significant gaps in their attendance before joining Silverways. We help children re-engage with education by providing a safe, low arousal environment and a team of outstanding teachers and support staff with a proven track record of successfully teaching children who struggle to cope in school.
We look for people to join our staff team who have the creativity and enthusiasm needed to deliver the best outcomes for the children and young people.

You will remain vigilant and act swiftly if you have concerns about a child and be an appropriate role model for both children and colleagues at all times.
