SENDCo job summary

Over the last year, we have reviewed and revised our SEND provision to meet the increasing number of students with SEND (including increasing numbers of students with Education and Health Care Plans (EHCPs). This has included developing our own SEND Profile to summarise student needs and to link into the ADPR provision and review cycle. This would be a perfect opportunity for an experienced SENDCo wanting to develop the support for SEND students or someone with a passion for SEND to lead and develop our provision from Middle School to Secondary provision. We are keen to appoint someone who has either completed the NPQ SENDCo qualification or is committed to completing this during the first year of appointment. We are also looking to continue to develop the strategic role of the SENDCo and as part of this development, the SENDCo will be part of the Senior Leadership Team. This will ensure that all aspects of SEND provision are integrated into the whole-school leadership and planning of the school.

We are committed to the safeguarding and promotion of children’s welfare. We also have a sincere commitment to equal opportunity and to the celebration of diversity, including in our staff recruitment. We welcome applications from all sections of our community very warmly, and we recognise the huge strength and opportunity that comes from diversity in all aspects of our make-up.

Holywell School is a caring, distinctively Christian, community-focussed Church of England School. We aim to continue the historic tradition of Church of England Schools by providing a Christian Values-inspired education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. As a school, we are a loving, supportive community with high aspirations for all. We promote inclusion, we are proud to belong and we value each individual. We look after each other, believe in second chances and aim to be the best we can be so we can serve and support the common good.

Our vision is to ‘Live life in all its fullness’. We aim to be an outstanding Christian learning community where everyone is valued as a unique individual and where everyone feels safe. We will aim to be the best we can possibly be, to treat others as we wish to be treated and to make a positive difference to our community and beyond. We strive to be peaceful problem-solvers with open minds and hearts, living God’s love and being kind.

We are a popular and oversubscribed school of 700 students. 2021-2022 will see our final year of expansion. Although situated in the Local Authority of Central Bedfordshire, we straddle the border and have half of our population from Bedford Borough schools. Students are largely drawn from the two villages of Cranfield and Wootton. There is an increasing number of ‘out-of-catchment’ students who are applying to the school because of its good reputation. As part of Central Bedfordshire’s ‘Schools for the Future’ development programme, we are currently exploring a long-term plan to evolve into an 11-16 secondary school.
