Jon Hastie -
Deputy Head of Care
 Jon
has 25 years experience of working with children, young people and their
families. He has worked for Social Services and Education Departments as
well as private organisations throughout the UK. He has always had a
very keen interest in ‘behaviour’ and has spent some time working
closely with family therapists.
Jon has worked at the school as Deputy Head of Care since 1999. In
2003 he was appointed to the post of Head of the Behaviour and
Education Support Team (BEST) in order to establish this support
service within the school. As a result of the school having been
awarded Specialist School Status in the area of SEN (Behaviour) in
2007, Jon is now heading the expansion of the Behaviour Department.
Jon also has a role to play as part of the Senior Leadership Team
and is committed to improving outcomes of the pupils and developing
the skills of the workforce within the school.
Jon is currently studying a National Programme for Specialist
Leaders in Behaviour and Attendance which he will complete in
January 2008. He also has a Residential Managers Award as well as an
NVQ 4 "Working with Children and Young People".
In August 2005 Jon was registered as Severely Sight Impaired and, as
a consequence of this, was matched with Guide Dog Yaron in August
2006. Yaron accompanies Jon to work every day and is extremely
popular with staff and pupils.
