- Play a key role in shaping the future of inclusive education at Heyford Park School, building on the strong foundations currently in place.
Essential Qualifications:
- SENCO qualification or a willingness to undertake one upon appointment.
- Proven teaching and leadership experience in either primary or secondary education.
- A strong commitment to professional development and career growth.
