Head of Learning Development/ SENCO

 We are seeking to recruit a dynamic and inspirational Head of Learning Development/SENCO to co-ordinate the provision for SEN students and help to implement school-wide strategies to enable all students to fulfil their learning potential. 

The Learning Support Department plays an important role in building the confidence and supporting the development of pupils throughout their time at the school and very particularly in preparation for public examinations.

The successful candidate must have considerable learning development experience, be able to articulate a clear educational vision and provide dynamic and inspirational leadership. He or she will be an outstanding teacher and possess creativity, excellent interpersonal skills and strong organisational abilities.

Moreton Hall has its own pay scale significantly above the maintained sector. Accommodation may be available if required and there are excellent opportunities for professional development.

The school reserves the right to change these dates, and to close the vacancy at any time, so early application is advised.

Further details of the school are obtainable from the Independent Schools Year Book, Tatler’s School Guide, The Good Schools’ Guide and the school’s Website 

The school, which currently is for 450 pupils (girls 4 - 18 years, boys 4 - 11 years), is situated midway between Shrewsbury and Chester with excellent road and rail links to the Midlands and the North of England.
