What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for someone to join our successful Learning Support Team, who shares our vision supporting students to develop a full and productive life. The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic, flexible, and talented individual. This is a leadership position which will often require an adaptable, decisive approach. The successful candidate will be given responsibility for monitoring the learning support provision for a specific year group, and progress with the year group through their time in the School. They will also be responsible for particular areas of SEN provision; in the first instance this is likely to be reading in Key Stage 3.
The appointed applicant will be part of a department that has high standards and achieves excellent results with their students. The Department benefits from a number of highly trained staff that includes experience working in primary schools, significant expertise in reading support and numeracy support and several of our staff hold mental health qualifications. We are part of the first cohort of the Peterborough Virtual School’s Connected Communities Project.
What the school offers its staff
The King’s (The Cathedral) School is a very special place to work, educating children from seven years old through to eighteen. The School has an incredibly strong reputation in the area and is one of a very small number of state Schools that has retained close links to the Cathedral dating all the way back to 1541. The School is heavily oversubscribed, staff retention is very high, and staff will typically choose to send their own children to the school for their education. The School places a real emphasis on students achieving well academically alongside participating in a wide range of sporting, musical and leadership opportunities.
The School offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities and we ensure our SEN students benefit from these. These include House Music competition, Year 7 and 9 residential trips, Duke of Edinburgh Award (Bronze and Gold), School drama performances, trips to France and Germany, sport, and attending activities week programmes. We often have SEN students in senior prefect roles in Year 13.
Further details about the role
Applications are welcomed from colleagues with experience working with children and supporting them in their learning; relevant TA or HLTA qualifications and experience would be an advantage. They should have the confidence to deliver high quality interventions to groups of students and individuals. We will consider all applicants, including those looking ahead to future careers in teaching.
Commitment to safeguarding
The King’s (The Cathedral) School fully recognises the responsibility it has under section 175 of the Education
Act 2002 (as amended), the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (as amended) and Education
and Training (Welfare of Children) Act, 2021 to have arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the
welfare of children.
