SENDCo job summary

We are looking for a teacher to lead and manage provision for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at Pimlico Academy, including within our Additionally Resourced Provision, the Language and Communication Centre (LCC). 

The Future Academies Trust is one of the country’s leading academy trusts; it was established with the intention of improving the life chances of children through an education that is built on the importance of knowledge, teachers who are experts in their subject, and an unwavering focus on raising aspirations for all. Our family of schools provide an exciting educational environment for students of all abilities, including students with SEND. The Trust hosts 3 Additionally Resourced Provisions, including the LCC at Pimlico Academy, and prides itself on making its mainstream classrooms both aspirational and inclusive.

Pimlico Academy is an OFSTED ‘Outstanding’ school with an above-average percentage of students with EHCPs on its roll. In addition to this, it is the home of the LCC, an Additionally Resourced Provision for students with a speech, language and communication need. Students with SEND at Pimlico Academy achieve outcomes that are significantly above national average by any measure.

If your application is successful, you will be leading a diverse team that includes a Speech and Language Therapist, Heads of Centre, a counselling service and a team of Teaching Assistants. Educational Psychology is bought in to support with understanding of students with complex needs.
