An exciting opportunity has arisen for a candidate of exceptional ability to join our team as SENDCO in this inclusive and diverse primary school.

Your supportive role will enable children and their families to access good educational provision as soon as they join our school.

The SENDCo is a valued member of the Senior Leadership Team, providing strategic leadership for inclusion and SEND across the school. The post will be non-class based but there will be times when SLT may be needed for cover in the classroom.

This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping inclusive practice across the school, working alongside committed colleagues to ensure that every child is supported to thrive. We are looking for a leader who is approachable, thoughtful and decisive - someone who builds trust, develops staff and is confident in leading the next phase of the school’s journey.
