Chiswick School is an 11 - 19 mixed stand alone academy of approx. 1600 pupils including a large, successful 6th Form. At the beginning of February 2020 OFSTED determined: "This is a good school" with outstanding features. Since then the school has continued to be innovative and focused on getting the best outcomes for all. The school is oversubscribed. In 2023 results for GCSE and A Levels were contrary to national trend - we were delighted for our students.
We are looking to appoint a SENDCO who joins an experienced and well resourced department. We are a values driven organisation and very ambitious for all our students regardless of background, prior attainment or needs.
We are a warm, caring and inclusive school. We have the highest expectations of all our learners and aim to support them to reach their potential.

Our SENDCO will have a very light teaching loading as we understand the demands of this vital role. There is also the possibility of some remote working from home when completing paperwork or attending virtual meetings.

Chiswick School is full of adults who care deeply about children and we pride ourselves on the positive relationships we build with students. We are a family which includes parents and carers, teachers, other school staff and the community; with the child placed firmly at the centre of all that we do and the decisions that we take.
Our teaching and support colleagues are our most valuable resource and we work hard to provide a balanced and enjoyable working environment. A new Wellbeing Strategy is being implemented to enhance what we are already doing to support our staff.
"Staff praise leaders for the improvements that have been made. They said that leaders take their workload and well-being seriously. Staff morale is high. They are committed to playing their part in the continued improvement of the school." - Ofsted, January 2020
