Cluster Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo)

Due to the return of service families from Germany, Wellington College Academy Trust is looking to recruit a Cluster SENCo for September 2019, to work across our primary academies.  

The Wellington Primary Academy opened on a purpose-built site in September 2014. The school has grown ever since, with numbers due to increase further this September. The school is situated on the outskirts of Tidworth and will eventually become a two form primary. 

The new Wellington Eagles Primary Academy is currently under construction and due to open to pupils this September. The new school is a two-storey, two form entry school and located in Ludgershall, opposite our secondary school, The Wellington Academy.  

Both schools offer exciting curriculums; modern buildings and beautiful grounds. 

Our ambition for our primary schools is the same we have for all schools in the Wellington family: to provide an outstanding education for all its students, regardless of background or ability.
