NeneGate

Nene Gate school is a special school for pupils aged 8 - 16 years. All our pupils have a primary Special Educational Need linked to Social, Emotional and Mental Health. Our three school pillars are Be Engaged, Be Ambitious, Be Resilient and everything we do links to these. We are proud to be part of Meridian Trust, a successful multi-academy Trust which is values driven and places the pupils at the heart of its work. NeneGate School is small, friendly and busy and offers a unique experience for anyone exploring teaching and interested in a career in education.

About our school experience

Details
We can offer opportunities to observe lessons across primary and secondary. You will experience the delivery of a curriculum adapted to meet the needs of children with SEND. You can also observe the delivery of intervention sessions. There is the opportunity to observe discrete subject teaching in secondary, particularly linked to our four core subjects: English, Maths, Science and PSHE. You will be expected to interact with pupils and work alongside the TAs in the lessons; the most rewarding part of being in our school is getting to know our pupils. We can connect you with teachers who have recently trained and also put together a programme so you can meet other staff in school and find out about their education careers. We have strong links with the Cambridge Partnership, which delivers ITT and can connect you with people who will offer you support to get into education.
