Job overview
We are seeking to appoint an experienced SENCO on a temporary basis until the end of the Summer Term to cover for the current post holder.
We would welcome applications from someone with experience of EHCPs and liaising with external agencies to best inform and support the transition of children into secondary school and throughout that journey.
We would consider full-time or part-time applications to support the SENCO agenda.
Bordering the Lakes and the Dales and yet surprisingly well-connected, for over 400 years we have forged a strong community ethos providing ‘Scholarship and Care’. We’re immensely proud of our commitment to the highest quality teaching and learning coupled with extraordinary pastoral care. We are a truly comprehensive community in which every child is cared for, supported and stretched, moving on to diverse destinations, from local apprenticeships and college courses to highly selective universities.
Building on our long successful history, we launched our sister school in September 2017 creating a small multi-academy trust of our 2 schools, the Lunesdale Learning Trust.
Applications are welcomed from well-qualified and highly motivated individuals who are keen to work with remarkable young people providing an exceptional education for all.
If you wish to know more, would like to arrange a visit or have any queries about the requirements for the role, please get in touch (however, we are closed for Easter until Monday 15th April)
If you wish to apply, please complete all sections of the application form by 12 noon on Wednesday 24th April 2024. In your supporting statement we would like you to include:
• a statement as to why this particular job appeals to you.
• an outline of your relevant experience
• a discussion of the personal and professional qualities which you believe suit you for this post
We would encourage all potential applicants to browse our websites to get a fuller flavour of life at this very special place.
We do hope you will take the time to apply. This is a marvellous place to work and this is a very exciting opportunity.

About Queen Elizabeth School
About Queen Elizabeth School
Queen Elizabeth School (QES), Kirkby Lonsdale, is an 11-18 co-ed, non-denominational, all ability school with a sister school, QEStudio, with its own building. We serve a large, prosperous and beautiful area of South Lakeland, North Yorkshire and North Lancashire. Although a rural school, we are only 6 miles from the M6 and well connected to main line train stations, which helps explain the outward-looking vibrancy of Kirkby Lonsdale.
Queen Elizabeth School dates back to 1591 when we were granted our charter to provide ‘Scholarship and Care’, a promise we continue to deliver well into the 21st century.
In September 2017 QES developed as the Lunesdale Learning Trust to incorporate a new Free School, the QEStudio providing high quality professional, technical and vocational learning to over 300 14-18 year-olds. This is an innovative and exciting aspect of our provision in Key Stage 4 and 5 it is proving to be extremely popular with pupils and parents.

Values and vision
Most significantly the Trust is founded on core values which underpin and inform the life of the schools and promote our sense of community. These include the focus on encouraging global citizenship, remembering that life is about more than material things, looking out for others, and thinking of others who are less fortunate.
Ofsted report
"This outstanding school fully lives up to its ancient motto of ‘Scholarship and Care’. The excellence that the school achieves results from the equal emphasis given to each of these aspects of its work. Parents and students are overwhelming in their praise of the school and many count themselves fortunate to be a part of it. Pressure for places is high because of the school’s excellent reputation in the locality and further afield."
