An inclusive, supportive 11-18 academy in Burnham, Buckinghamshire. With student well-being at the heart of all we do, we are committed to providing a personalized educational experience to our students. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, professional SENCo for September 2018 to cover maternity leave. The successful applicant will have experience of working with young people, and be familiar with behavioural strategies, and be resilient with excellent inter personal skills.

Burnham Park provides outstanding opportunities for SEND students. If you have the tenacity to use your leadership skills, creativity and understanding of child development and learning to further develop the SEN focus this may be the post you are looking for. You should be able to demonstrate your understanding and expertise in developing teaching and learning opportunities as well as the ways in which you would be able to lead the SEND team and support not just the students but also their families.

Burnham Park Academy attracts students from a wide spectrum of educational and social needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to shape the lives of young people in Burnham. If you think you can help transform the opportunities for the community we serve then we would like to hear from you. Burnham is a lovely Village in the South Bucks District of Buckinghamshire, linked to London by Burnham Railway station on the Mainline between London Paddington and Reading. There is much to keep residents occupied including beautiful Burnham Beeches National Nature Reserve, an area of 540 acres of protected ancient Woodland.

We are an E-ACT academy and proud to be part of a community that includes over 15,400 pupils and 2,300 teaching and non-teaching professionals across the country. E-ACT multi-academy trust is responsible for 25 academies across the length and breadth of England. Our academies can collaborate and share ideas with one another in ways that schools may not be able to. Most importantly, we all feel part of something much bigger as our responsibilities go far beyond the four walls of a single academy, and extend to people and their communities across the country.

We are always on the lookout for dynamic, motivated and enthusiastic people so we can continue to give every one of our pupils the opportunity to explore, solve, create and achieve.

In return we offer the chance to work with amazing people and inspirational pupils, as well as a great salary and sector-leading work-life balance arrangements. Find out more at www.e-act.org.uk.
