Assistant Headteacher- SENCO job summary
QEGSMAT are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Assistant Headteacher - SENCO to join our passionate and high achieving team at the City of Derby Academy.
We serve a very diverse community with over 30 home languages. The school’s vision is “improving the life chances of all students”. Moreover, we continually strive to develop our students’ character through our core values of Respectful, Responsible and Ready to Achieve, which underpin everything we do, every day.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection report (March 2024) is overwhelmingly positive and recognises the strengths of the school and the continued progress being made. Some highlights are:
· CODA is a school that welcomes and celebrates the diversity of the local community.
· There is a caring ethos. Pupils feel safe. The vast majority are happy.
· The school has high expectations of all pupils.
· Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language are well supported to learn the curriculum.
· Leaders have secured many improvements since the school’s last inspection.
· The curriculum has been strengthened.
· Behaviour is now good.
· Pupils are polite and respectful to each other adults.
· There are strong relationships between staff and pupils.
· Pupils receive high-quality pastoral support. They know that staff are always available to talk to them if they have concerns.
· Leaders consider staff’s well-being and workload.
· Staff overwhelmingly enjoy working at the school.
The inspection report aligns with the academy’s own self-evaluation, and the inspection team recognised that leaders already have the right plans in place to secure the improvements required to achieve “good” overall at the next inspection.
