Commencing September 2025

Blessed George Napier is a popular, over-subscribed, Catholic School in Banbury with an excellent reputation for both academic achievement and student welfare.

“Pupils are keen to be part of this thoughtful and inclusive school… enjoying learning and showing kindness are part of everyday life… Pupils talk positively about the support provided for their physical and mental well-being… and study and ambitious curriculum.” OFSTED, November 2022

We have an exciting and challenging opportunity for a committed and visionary individual to really make a difference within our school.

Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team, the Assistant SENCO, Learning Support Assistants, staff, pupils and parents, this position involves leading our SEN provision and development across the school, including:

  • Forming strategies for improvement and create, implement, and monitoring an improvement plan
  • Managing and deploying our team of Learning Support Assistants
  • Assessing and identifying children and young people with learning or behavioural difficulties and/or disabilities
  • Delivering high quality lessons
  • Providing INSET to colleagues
  • Promoting SEN awareness throughout the School
  • Developing links with the local and wider community

Ideally, the successful candidate will already hold the ‘National Award for SEN Co-ordination’ or equivalent, however this is not essential as training will be provided for the right person.

Our people are at the heart of our success and in return we can offer:

  • An exciting opportunity to work with an outstanding and supportive team
  • Excellent CPD opportunities
  • Entry into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme
  • Genuine commitment to employee health and wellbeing, including a dedicated Employee Assistance Programme.

All applicants must be able to demonstrate an empathy for, and understanding of, the Catholic Christian ethos of the school.
