This role presents a fantastic opportunity for an individual who is passionate about shaping the future of special education needs provision, and making a difference to the outcomes of young people. It is a unique opportunity, in that our College is not only one of the country’s leading state providers, where student progress is regularly in the top 5% of all non-selective schools in the country, but also one which provides excellent support and outcomes for a large number of students with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
The successful candidate will benefit from:
• The support of an experienced and well-established SEND faculty and leadership team, with an unswerving commitment to inclusion
• 2 Year Professional Development Programme in Leadership and Management and the opportunity to complete accredited courses including the NPQML or NPQSL, if desired
• Funding to undertake external professional development, including the National Award for SEN Coordination, if not already achieved
• Coaching from the Assistant Principal with oversight for SEND, a qualified and experienced SENCO
With a truly comprehensive intake and inclusive ethos, we are proud to support nearly three times the national average number of EHCP students and have three enhanced resource special needs bases. We support students with a range of needs including, cerebral palsy, autism, Down Syndrome, and ADHD, and our broad programme of staff CPD reflects this.
As an IB World School, the College offers a unique and innovative curriculum, with a weekly enrichment programme for all students as part of the College timetable, and with a focus on wellbeing at its heart. There are also bespoke programs of study for some of our students, dependent on their needs, and the successful candidate will have a passion for both innovative curriculum design and individual interventions to meet needs. With your knowledge and passion for SEND you will have the opportunity to build upon the successful curriculum offer embedded at IVC and to establish your own vision for delivering a high-quality learning experience to our inspirational students.
You will be joining an innovative and collaborative faculty where staff are highly committed to improving young people’s experience of education. You will be very well supported in the faculty by an exceptionally friendly and welcoming team, some of whom have been working at IVC for over 10 years.
In return IVC and the Eastern Learning Alliance (ELA) can offer you:
• the chance to be collocated on campus with our Trust’s first special school, The Cavendish – Cambridge’s first maintained special free school for autism
• the opportunity to work in a College which was recently named the Sunday Times East Anglian Secondary School of the Year
• the chance to work in a Flexible Working Ambassador School, where innovative approaches to work are championed and family life is fully supported, and wellbeing is a priority for all
• reduced contact time for all teachers to facilitate professional learning/reduce workload, with a further reduction for new staff as part of our induction programme and an extensive support package for ECTs
• the opportunity to work for a faculty where collaboration is a high priority and the programme of professional learning is outstanding
• excellent career pathway opportunities with a culture of looking to promote from within, including responsibility across the Trust
• support to undertake external accredited courses and qualifications, as agreed
• subsidised access to the ELA’s sports centre leisure facilities available for use before, during and after the school day
