Shanidar School Direct

Shanidar School Direct is a group of fourteen schools across Bradford, Keighley, Leeds and Skipton. Eight mainstream schools and six special schools. The lead school, Southfield Special School is located close to the city centre of Bradford. All schools are part of Shanidar Teaching School Alliance.

There is a strong commitment to inclusion and the Bradford Primary with SEND 5-11 programme will give trainees opportunity to train in mainstream settings and also pursue a specialism in SEND should they choose. Four potential pathways to choose from are:

Autism (communication and interaction);
Generic SEND (cognition and learning);
Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH); and
Sensory (VI / HI).

We are proud of all the schools in our partnership. If you choose to train with us, you will gain experience of a range of schools in the partnership. We offer high quality PGCE training through School Direct (unsalaried). We can tell you more during our free local briefing events.
