Why Work for Stony Dean School
Stony Dean School is an Outstanding Special School located in the “leafy” town of Amersham in South Buckinghamshire.
Our staff members are dynamic and caring individuals who are passionate about improving the life chances of young people through education. The school offers a variety of training opportunities to ensure we have the right skills for the school and staff members’ futures.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection commented that Stony Dean School is a “vibrant school where pupils relish taking part in school life” and where students are “exceptionally well prepared for their next steps”, developing “an impressive degree of independence”. Many parents have described Stony Dean School as “amazing”, valuing the individual support provided to their children.
We have highly trained therapists and teachers who work in a truly symbiotic environment to ensure we offer the best of all opportunities to our students. We are extremely proud of our calm and nurturing environment; simultaneously seeking to challenge students and support them to be the best that they can possibly be. We provide small class sizes and personalised support to ensure the needs of every child are consistently met and that every student is able to make progress academically, personally and socially.
Stony Dean students are lively, thoughtful and always ready to participate in a wide range of curriculum and extra-curricular activities.
