Senco

SENCO  (FULL TIME, PERMENANT)

MPS/UPS plus SEN TLR 

REQUIRED FOR SEPTEMBER 2021

At Heart of England we believe in creating futures.  Over several years we have created a curriculum model that resists gimmicks and short term gains at the expense of real, deep learning.   Our vision is simple; we create futures and that includes ensuring our staff have them too.   At Heart of England we are clear in our approach to professional wellbeing, which is crucial at a time of ever-shifting challenge.

We believe in agency and autonomy for our staff.  We believe that the same intellectual curiosity that lead you to want to study your subject at university and then teach it to others is what makes you best placed to make decisions about the way you teach your subject now and lead on special educational needs. We believe that when it comes to learning and teaching our motto, “No One Way … By Design”, encapsulates our philosophy of enabling staff to deliver the best possible outcomes for all students in a culture that acknowledges variety whilst grounded in shared values and consistency of approach in our decided essentials.

You will work with our teams to secure the very highest standards of inclusion for all children across the school. The role also benefits from a teaching commitment that will enable you to model the very best practice to those you lead.

Our ideal candidate will:

• be passionate about embedding successful approaches across the school, partnership network and beyond 

• work with a like-minded team, developing our quality of SEND provision and ensuring access to our broad and balanced curriculum

• share our drive for giving children the best possible learning experiences

• dedicate their expertise to discerning need and removing barriers to learning and training others to do the same

Our professional development programme offers all members of staff the opportunity to read and experiment with learning and teaching; if like Oscar Wilde you ‘are not young enough to know everything’, our atmosphere of being constructively discontent may be right for you.

Heart of England School is committed to keeping children, young people and vulnerable adults safe.  The post holder is responsible for promoting and supporting a culture of vigilance with regard to safeguarding the welfare of the children, young people and vulnerable adults for whom she/he is responsible or come into contact with.
