Further Information
Present provision is focused on children whose needs are identified as: Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH); Autistic Spectrum Condition, and; other complex needs.
Northumberland County Council have recognised the need to address a gap in provision for those children with SEMH needs, including those who may respond with violence and aggression, and, those who may be identified as presenting behaviours which display ‘Callous and unemotional Traits’ (CUTs). It is proposed that this will be the core purpose of provision at Ashdale.
We are seeking to recruit a Teacher to contribute to the effective development and maintenance of the high quality provision already offered at The Dales School.
Ashdale is seen as a ground-breaking venture which, in its planning and provision, will see education and health work together to provide individual programmes. These are intended to allow children to engage with learning opportunity through improved social and emotional interaction.
Further, into the future, there are plans for an additional phase of development of provision into key stages 3 and 4.
The Dales School, is a lead school within a Teaching School Alliance of 12 schools including: Specialist; Mainstream primary and secondary; Academy and maintained; Catholic sector, and the Pupil Referral Unit for Northumberland. The school also has extensive international links.

These Comenius and Erasmus projects, funded by British Council, have concentrated on ‘Inclusion’, ‘Behaviour management’, and ‘Effective Communication’, for example. We are presently committed to 2 projects involving 10 other countries and schools, with the foci of ‘ICT in school’ and, ‘The Creative Curriculum’.
