SENDCO job summary
Ark Walworth Academy is a thriving school in the heart of central London. We serve a vibrant, diverse community in Zone 2, with excellent access to all the city has to offer for students and staff alike.
We seek a passionate and committed SENDCo to support the cohort within our dynamic school setting. We do not have a specific resource base and are therefore proud to support young people with a range of needs to achieve their full potential. We are committed to a full school experience for all learners and the successful candidate will wish to bring curriculum, pastoral and extra-curricular experiences to life for the cohort of learners with Special Educational Needs. We are interested to hear from experienced candidates but are also willing to support the right practitioner to qualification in the role if necessary. Existing knowledge of the SEN code of practice is essential, however, along with a commitment to inclusive classroom practice.
Our staff are:
• Committed, enthusiastic practitioners seeking to support excellent progress for our students
• Educators who aspire to the highest standards of behaviour, academic success, and wellbeing for all in our community
• Resilient, reflective and thoughtful professionals, seeking to develop themselves with us
In return, we offer:
• An externally recognised progression route with the support of a nationally recognised network
• Dedicated Network Leads for subjects and areas, providing cutting-edge training and development opportunities
• A fully accessible, well resourced, multi-million pound building in which to practice, accessible via various transport links, including train, tube and bus services from Elephant and Castle, as well as bus links from London Bridge and Tower Bridge
• A school community with a genuine family ethos, investing in staff wellbeing with sports and events
• Varied routes into teaching and industry-recognised professional qualifications (Ark Teacher Training, PGCE, Teach First, Now Teach, NPQML, NPQSL, BA and Masters programmes)
• A comprehensive support and induction programme for all staff including accommodation in zone 2 available for ECTs and trainees.
• A dedicated Employee Assistance and benefits package from Ark Rewards
