"One of the many things I love about Jack Tizard (and one of the reasons I keep coming back for more, after nearly 20 years) is the shared sense of purpose amongst the students, the parents, the classroom teams, the teachers, the therapy and health teams, the admin and management staff and visiting others, towards overcoming some of more challenging barriers to learning experienced anywhere, with healthy doses of creativity, persistence, kindness, humour and optimism, so those amazing moments - when new communication or mobility or learning milestones are met - keep happening. That’s a mighty long sentence… but there’s so much to say!"

"When you go to Jack Tizard School you feel such a positive atmosphere.

It was a pleasure to work with all staff but also with our amazing pupils. There are many things (I cannot choose just one). I thoroughly enjoyed working with my co-workers and SLT. It has been always a friendly and supportive atmosphere where you feel so motivated to go to work every day. But also, to see our pupils progress gave me that motivation to do more and more. I specifically liked about my role at JT that everyone in the school shared the same vision and was dedicated to support our pupils and their families. This created a strong work environment where we were all willing to support each other and build a team."
