Job overview
For September 2021, we are seeking to appoint a talented, driven and passionate SENCO to lead our thriving Inclusion Department which is highly regarded within our school and within the Local Authority.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and experienced teacher who wishes to develop their career and really make a difference to the pupils in their care. Supporting children to achieve their potential is a high profile aspect of school life at Hyde and so the ability to contribute to teaching your subject in addition to the requirements of the SENCO role is essential.

Additional Information
Hyde High School is an improving co-educational 11-16 school with approximately 1100 pupils on roll. The school serves two of the most deprived wards in Tameside and a large proportion of pupils are supported by Pupil Premium funding. This is a proudly multicultural school with almost a third of pupils having Bangladeshi heritage and typically thriving at Hyde. SMSC is a strength and permeates our school; positive relationships underpin our harmonious and aspirational ethos. Pastoral systems are strong and a wide variety of support measures are effectively employed to enable pupils to access learning.
Hyde is proud to be an educationally inclusive school, one in which the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every young person matter. In October 2019, Ofsted stated that ‘Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported in their learning’.
Inclusion is a basic value that extends to all our pupils – everyone belongs and everyone is welcome. Our aim is to make all our pupils:
• feel safe;
• feel valued;
• be the best that they can be, academically, socially, and emotionally.
We have a well-resourced Inclusion Department that is highly regarded for the support given to pupils with a vast array of different needs. The team currently consists of the SENCO, an Assistant SENCO, an EAL Co-ordinator, 11 Teaching Assistants, 4 Higher Level Teaching Assistants and an Inclusion Administrator. We have an increasing number of SEND pupils including those with Education, Health and Care plans. This is a friendly team who work effectively together to help support the pupils in school. Each pupil on the SEND register has a named ‘key worker’ who liaises with parents/carers regularly and monitors the provision in place and the progress the pupils make.

A dedicated and talented team of staff work hard to secure the best possible outcomes for all pupils; staff morale is good and our latest Ofsted report shows a clear upwards trajectory.
The most recent (2023) inspection noted that:
- Pupils, staff and residents of the local community are proud of this school.
- The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum... it has high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including pupils with special educational needs.
- Pupils enjoy the increasing range of opportunities available to them to enhance their learning.
We are proud to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development and that prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of 21st century life. In the context of our school, this means offering an academically robust curriculum, enhanced by more creative and practically based courses; we believe that the arts, physical education and technical subjects should be promoted as vital facets in the development of well-rounded pupils.
