The skills and experience we are looking for:
We are seeking a passionate and dedicated teacher and aspiring or experienced SENCo to join our team as a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) to work closely with the Headteacher, senior leadership team, and colleagues to shape the school’s vision for inclusive education and contribute to the strategic development of our Special Educational Needs (SEND) provision.

Key Responsibilities:
- Support, advise, and guide staff on all SEND-related matters
- Work in partnership with parents, carers, and external professionals
- Lead the development and implementation of SEND policies
- Ensure individual pupil needs are met and progress is closely monitored
