Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENDCo) job summary

About the role:

No limits to what we can achieve. At Greet Primary School, we believe there are no ceilings on any child’s potential. We are a lively, friendly, warm and welcoming four‑form entry school serving a richly diverse community in Sparkhill. Inclusive practice sits at the heart of our school vision, driven by aspiration and underpinned by our values of achieving excellence, social intelligence, and ethical lives.

We are seeking a SENDCo to join our middle leadership team, working closely alongside Senior Leaders, to champion high‑quality provision for pupils with SEND from Nursery to Year 6. The role includes line management of our on‑site Enhanced Provision Class (staffing and provision), ensuring the most effective support for pupils with complex needs.

You will provide both strategic leadership and day‑to‑day coordination of SEND, ensuring the graduated approach is embedded, statutory duties are met, and that classroom practice is consistently inclusive, ambitious and evidence‑informed.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the strategic development of SEND across the school (Nursery-Y6), aligned with our mission of “no limits to what we can achieve.”

Line manage the Enhanced Provision Class team, including timetabling, provision mapping, performance development, and safeguarding culture.

Oversee the SEND register, identification pathways, and Assess-Plan-Do-Review cycles, ensuring robust, measurable outcomes and no ceiling expectations for progress and independence.

Coordinate EHCP applications, annual reviews, and top‑up funding, ensuring full compliance with the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and school/Trust policies.

Forge and sustain strong, long‑lasting relationships with external agencies (EP, SALT, OT, CAMHS, Specialist Teachers), integrating advice into classroom practice.

Work closely with class teachers and year leaders to ensure quality‑first teaching, adaptive approaches, and purposeful reasonable adjustments.

Lead professional learning for teachers and support staff; coach colleagues to build confidence, social intelligence, and pedagogical expertise.

Use data insightfully to track impact, evaluate interventions, and report to SLT, governors and families with clarity and integrity.

Champion pupil and family voice, ensuring partnerships that reflect ethical lives and dignity for every learner.

See Job Description & Person Specification for full details.

You will have the following skills/ experience:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential.

NASENCO (National Award for SEN Coordination) or a commitment to complete it within the required timeframe.

Successful experience leading or coordinating SEND provision (school wide or phase), including enhanced or specialist provision (desirable).

Understanding of inclusive classroom practice, the graduated approach, and statutory SEND processes (EHC needs assessments, annual reviews, and funding).

A relentless belief in aspiration and high expectations for every pupil—no ceilings, no limits.

Excellent communication skills with pupils, families, staff and multi‑agency partners; able to influence, coach and build capacity.

Values-driven leader who models achieving excellence, social intelligence, and ethical lives in daily practice.

We offer:

A warm, welcoming and highly supportive staff team in a vibrant four‑form entry primary.

A visible, collaborative leadership culture—you’ll work closely with Senior Leaders and be a key member of middle leadership.

Dedicated leadership time for SENDCo responsibilities and wellbeing‑conscious workload planning.

A well-established network of external agency partners and an Enhanced Provision Class on site.

Pupils who are curious, creative and aspirational, and families who value strong home-school partnerships.

Ongoing professional development, including support for NASENCO (if required) and wider leadership growth.
