Job overview

Assistant Head of SEND Department (Maths Specialist)

MPS / UPS £25,714 - £41,604 + TLR 2B (£4781) + SEN allowance to reflect experience and qualifications 

Permanent Contract – for Easter, May or September 2022 start

We are seeking to appoint an experienced and inspiring Maths teacher with a passion for improving the life chances of children with additional needs. The successful candidate will have experience of teaching children with SEND and a desire to learn more about, and become involved in, organising support for children with EHC plans.

This new and exciting role has been created to further strengthen our SEND provision which is an integral part of our whole school community. At Langley we are committed to inclusion and we are looking for the right person to build upon our inclusive, aspirational, positive, nurturing ethos. 

At Langley, we prioritise positive relationships between staff and students. Langley is an exciting place to learn and work.  We are incredibly proud of the way our staff and young people work collaboratively to fulfil our school motto ‘to be the best we can be’. 

Langley is a wonderful school to work at and learn in and, as our recent Ofsted report suggests: 'Pupils are thoroughly prepared for life in modern Britain' at our school, where the holistic approach to child centred learning is valued as highly as the outcomes they eventually achieve at the end of their time with us.

Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’.  But these are not simply words on paper.  Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day.  Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests.  Everyone who visits us comments on the special ethos of our school – ‘the Langley way’. 


What Matters to Us at Langley School


How we work together:

•             We share a clear sense of purpose, with students at the centre of all that we do and strive for

•             We are committed to investing in positive relationships to enhance all that we do, respecting and valuing differences

•             We make decisions with transparency and fairness, finding a route through the difficult rather than the easy

•             We take a solutions-focussed approach, concentrating on what we can do

•             We are a compassionate community with a shared set of values and a love for our very special school


Our approach with our young people:

•             We encourage everyone to embody our school motto; ‘to be the best we can be’ in all that we do

•             We see everyone’s potential as limitless

•             We share the fundamental belief that a child’s past does not determine their future. Our mistakes do not define us

•             We see learning as an exciting gateway to opportunity

•             We value every individual for their skills, talent and identity, ensuring everyone in our community is enabled to thrive

•             We never give up and we are committed to finding the right path for everyone

•             We want our students to leave us as successful, good people, with a healthy sense of well-being and self-confidence and to be proud of themselves and our school

The Langley Purpose  
‘To be the best that we can be’
 

Langley has often been described as a holistic school. Our aim is simple: to support children to become 'the best they can be' and to respect and encourage the talents of all. Certainly we strive for the best possible examination results, we owe our children this; but we want more.

The Langley Vision

We want Langley to be admired and valued for its  pioneering pastoral care, innovative curriculum, modern facilities and  inclusive forward thinking approach that opens doors and changes lives.

Values and Ethos

Our aim is to encourage all within the  school 'to be the best that we can be'.  Why is this simple, but  over-arching, so central to all we do?  This is our core value for a  number of reasons.

  • So our young people are exceptionally well educated.
  • To develop happy, healthy, confident and successful life-long learners.
  • To develop cognitive, social and emotional resilience and resourcefulness.
  • So our students are prepared not for a life of tests but the tests of life.
  • So everyone fulfils their potential, is courteous and considerate to others and supports their community


The respect and affection for children is evident in all who work here and the community benefits from the calibre of and ethos shared by the Langley staff, who freely inspire, support and challenge the children and each other, well beyond the working day.

We value the ways in which our  students are supportive, courteous and help them learn to appreciate the  importance of appropriate behaviour at all times   This ability to form good relationships, to be a caring and contributing member of a community, does not fade when they leave us - Langley students are known for their articulate confidence, their courtesy and  maturity.
