Thank you for your interest in joining Glossopdale School & Sixth Form. Glossopdale school is an oversubscribed 11-18 comprehensive secondary school which serves the Glossop community. We are a warm and caring school that has the highest expectations of pupils and ourselves, where every pupil is expected to work hard, behave well and contribute positively to the school community.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for our school to recruit an enthusiastic and conscientious deputy SENCO to join our SEND Team, building on the excellent work that is already in place and championing our SEND pupils. We are looking to appoint an ambitious, experienced and dynamic leader who is hardworking and energetic to join our growing team. You will need to have expertise in the key fields of inclusion and working with pupils with additional needs.
We are seeking to appoint someone who is passionate about making a real difference to the lives of the pupils and the community surrounding the school.
Our core purpose is to support pupils of all abilities and backgrounds to develop high aspirations and achieve their potential. We do this by nurturing and building ambition for our pupils, we open opportunities, broaden horizons and introduce challenges ensuring everyone can thrive, both academically and personally, to be the best that they can be.

We have just started our journey to become a research-based school with the aim to develop highly effective, evidence-based teaching, learning and assessment, where we collaborate as a whole staff to persistently improve our pedagogy and where we evaluate our practice habitually.
Everyone also has the ability to get involved with school life beyond their core role – whether that’s supporting one of the many extra-curricular activities and clubs, or becoming part of the pupil support structure we have in place for each year group. There’s always some way you can push yourself towards your own goals while inspiring and supporting our pupils.
We have some of the best facilities in the area having fully re-built our school in 2018. This not only provides both staff and pupils with everything they can expect for modern teaching and learning, but also gives us exceptional environmental credentials.
I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of Glossopdale School and consider it a privilege to be a part of such a vibrant and caring learning community. If you think this sounds like your sort of school, then we very much look forward to receiving your application to join us.
