Specialist Teachers
Promoting curiosity, creativity and a love for learning.
At Craighalbert, our teachers play a vital role in supporting children with complex communication, medical, learning, physical and care needs. They are highly trained professionals with expertise across education, healthcare and therapy, ensuring a joined-up approach that puts your child at the centre.
​
Every child is unique, so our teachers create personalised learning plans tailored to each pupil’s strengths, needs and interests. They work closely with therapists, nurses and other specialists to support all areas of development — not just learning, but also health, communication, and emotional wellbeing.
​​
Teachers aim to set high, yet realistic goals, celebrating progress big and small. They provide regular updates to families and are always happy to discuss your child’s achievements or any concerns you may have.
​
More than just qualifications, our teachers bring compassion, creativity and dedication to their work. They take part in regular training to stay up to date with best practice in areas such as communication methods, medical needs, and therapy support.
​
By combining care, knowledge and a deep understanding of complex needs, our teachers help every child grow in confidence, skills and independence in a safe and supportive environment.
