We are seeking an inspirational and dedicated Headteacher to take Granta School into the next stage of its development.

Granta first opened in September 2006 and caters for special needs pupils aged 3 to 19 years old. All our pupils have Education and Health Care plans (EHCP’s).

We were last inspected by Ofsted in November 2022 and maintained a ‘Good’ rating.

We are located in the village of Linton, eight miles south east of Cambridge and share our site with Linton Village College. The Hive site is about 2 miles away from the school in Abington.

At Granta we work with a wide range of pupil needs from those who have Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) to those who have Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). Most of our students have severe learning difficulties and approximately half also have autism.

 

Fundamental is a shared vision for all of our students to be as independent as possible within their capabilities and to develop the essential life skills of engagement, communication, daily living skills and social skills  We provide a wide range of exciting, inclusive and personalised learning opportunities to support them to develop key life skills, including communication, self-care skills, everyday living skills and functional English, Maths and ICT skills.
