What skills and experience we're looking for

The department consists of an Assistant Headteacher with responsibility for Inclusion, a SENDCO (role advertised), two deputy SENDCos and an SEND manager. Within the department we also have a specialist literacy teacher, an ASC specialist (whose role also spans across other schools), and a team who are responsible for running our ‘Skills for Life’ provision which is a qualification that runs in place of a GCSE. The Thomas Hardye School also has two resourced provisions, including one for students with complex communication needs and one for students with physical disabilities. These provisions are led by their respective base leaders, but the SENDCo has oversight of them. We require a successful, innovative leader with a strong understanding of how a school supports students with SEND to achieve their potential.

What the school offers its staff

We can offer excellent working conditions, a supportive environment and plenty of opportunity for further development at one of the most successful comprehensive schools in the country. The superb facilities include an on-site nursery, a sports complex with company membership for staff.

Further details and an application form are available on the school website (www.thomas-hardye.net). Please send your letter of application together with a completed application form to Mrs Anita Pullen (Headteacher’s PA) by the deadline, midday, Friday 3rd February 2023. Please note, applicants may be called for interview before the closing date
