About our School

Brave... Collaborative...Adaptable...Love...Positivity...Future-conscious

Pennine View @ McAuley is a provision which is part of Pennine View School and opened in July 2024 for children with an education health and care plan (EHCP) which identifies Social Emotional and Mental Health as a primary need. This provision was created to support children with additional needs to have access to a mainstream curriculum as and when it is appropriate. You will be part of a team of staff who will work alongside the mainstream teachers at McAuley High School and Nexus Multi Academy Trust to ensure the support, guidance and curriculum offer is appropriate to need. You will work in an attachment friendly way and believe in building positive relationships with all stakeholders.
