São Paulo, Brasil St. Paul's School Tempo inteiro

General

This is a key academic role which provides leadership and management of the provision of support for pupils with special educational needs across the school (Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior School) through the Learning Support Team (LST). The Learning Support Coordinator is the school’s SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).

The Learning Support Coordinator and the LST will provide teaching support to individuals and small groups; they identify and support children with additional learning needs (including those with disabilities and the most able) and, working with other professionals, offer advice, guidance and support to teachers (and teaching assistants) about effective learning strategies for these children.

About us:

St. Paul’s was founded in 1926 and was the first school in South America to receive accreditation from the UK government as a British School Overseas. Fully coeducational, with about 1,000 pupils, aged from 3 to 18, it is a school with history and tradition, but which embraces innovation, contemporary values and the latest in digital learning. We are a world-class school, and an international member of HMC and IAPS, and a member of COBIS and the LAHC. We are proud of our local, national and international reputation and we constantly strive to improve the opportunities for our pupils and staff. Our recent BSO inspection judged us as a leading British School overseas, and you can download the report from our website. Our exceptional facilities place teaching and learning at the heart of the school.
