Pathways at Mason Moor Primary School

Pathways opened in December 2024 as a local authority commissioned resource for children with SEMH who are finding accessing school difficult. The provision continues three distinct pathways:

Short-term placements

- to support children with difficulty accessing their mainstream school for 12 weeks.

Assessment Pathway

- for children who require support to undergo assessment from EPs, to access alternative provision and those who need a fresh-start.

Pathways class

- children with an EHC in Years 5 or 6 who join Pathways at Mason Moor for their school journey toward secondary.

The SEMH teacher role:

Thank you for your interest in our advertised SEMH teacher role. We are looking to appoint an exceptional candidate to our dedicated school team. The successful candidate will be presented with the opportunity to progress within the school as the unit grows.


This is an exciting role and one that will establish a new pathway curriculum, for children across both schools, who have diagnosed/pre-diagnosis specific learning needs.

Our ARP:

Will cater for 20 children at Mason Moor. The SEMH teacher will have access to a wing of the school - including 3 classrooms, a break-out space and staffroom/office. Needs vary between SLCN (Speech/Lang/Communication), ASD and SEMH. Some will have co-morbidity The unit has access to an innovative outdoor classroom within a wooded area of the school to be integrated as part of the provision. Pupils will have some access to mainstream class teaching. The SEN unit will also be staffed with experienced SEMH HLTAs and TAs.

The curriculum:

Taken from the name Pathways - we have two distinct curriculum pathways:

Securing the fundamentals - a completely planned core-learning curriculum for reading, writing and maths that focuses ONLY on the key national curriculum objectives to enable children to navigate and work in parallel to peers outside of the provision. The fundamentals curriculum is planned, with assessment, visuals and resources ready to go. Developmental pathway - based on the 30+ boxall profile areas, this is a Pathway that is ready to innovate and linked to individual child/group needs. You may utilise our Trailblazer (outdoor learning) planning or create bespoke activities to help deficit areas of a child's wider developmental journey.


We are passionate about inclusivity and celebrate our differences - this could be your opportunity to step up and become the architect of a new pathway for exceptional children.

Information about our school:
