The Role:

We are seeking an ambitious and inclusive leader to take on the role of SENDCO, providing strategic oversight and
leadership for SEND across the school.

Working closely with the Director of Inclusion (Senior Deputy Headteacher), you will ensure high-quality provision,
strong outcomes and full compliance with statutory duties for pupils with SEND, including strategic oversight of EHCPs.

The successful candidate will develop our early identification processes and the effectiveness of the graduated response
at SEND Support. This will involve working very closely with staff, students, families and external agencies.

The SENDCO will also lead on addressing attendance, engagement and participation barriers experienced by pupils with
SEND, ensuring that inclusive practices promote positive outcomes and equity across the school.

Who Should Apply

You do not need to be an existing SENDCO to apply for this role. We welcome applications from experienced Middle
Leaders (or those aspiring to senior leadership) who have a strong interest in inclusion and a commitment to removing
barriers to learning for pupils with SEND. Full support and professional development will be provided.

What we can offer you:

– A collaborative approach to lesson planning within the department
– A close-knit department with a shared vision
– No-book marking
– A school and department where staff share best practice and are committed to continual improvement
– A centralised approach to Languages homework using Carousel Learning
– A comprehensive and supportive ECT package with a dedicated, subject specific mentor
– A strong induction programme tailored to your experience and needs
– A career development programme at all levels
– A visible, supportive and approachable SLT
– A centralised behaviour system based around our Core Values
– A school situated in a lovely town, 10 minutes walk from the train station
