Assistant Headteacher: Head of ASC Department

We are a school for pupils with Moderate Learning Difficulties with an ASC base and wish to appoint a school leader with evidence of:

• Successfully leading staff to meet the needs of pupils with SEN
• optimising outcomes for pupils with intensive, complex, autism who are learning at a level below Year 6 expectations
• Our professional philosophy is highly “solution orientated”- seeing challenges as opportunities to improve. Applicants seeking to join our team would need to share this approach. We are looking for:
• Understanding of autism and relevant strategies
• High quality classroom skills and a reflective practitioner
• The ability to lead a team in a positive, determined, manner in the interests of pupils

Our school is fully committed to the self-evaluation process leading to continuing professional development.
