Job overview

We are a forward-thinking Academy based in Weston-super-Mare, providing education to 600 students at KS3/KS4. Our pupils are excited to learn, are real ambassadors for our diverse community and benefit from a hugely positive and supportive learning environment. 

We are part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) which is one of only 30 National Maths Hubs and is the largest non-diocesan academy group in the South West. The CLF currently sponsors 16 academies including Secondary Schools, Primaries and a studio school catering for students aged 14 to 19. 

Working closely with staff across the Academy to identify and meet the special educational needs of students, you will act as the main point of contact for relevant external agencies with regards to SEND provision and maintain a positive relationship with these agencies. You will also manage and maintain learning support provision and ensure that support entitlements for statemented and top-up funded students are met. 

We wish to appoint a highly committed professional with a high level of emotional intelligence who:

  • is keen to create something unique, building a love of learning and closing gaps for those students who fall under the remit of the SEND team;
  • shares our passion to deliver an outstanding student experience;
  • has the ability to deliver outstanding results;
  • is an excellent communicator and an effective leader;
  • will be innovative, creative and flexible in your approach to achieve the best results. 

You will be a member of the CLF inclusion team more widely and will contribute to, and benefit from, an extensive network of high quality, committed professionals working towards a common aim of improving the life chances of every student we serve and where possible having an impact that extends beyond our own setting. 

The CLF will provide you with a hugely positive and supportive learning environment; and the opportunity to participate in both Academy and pan-federation professional development from a wide network of high quality education professionals.

Values and vision

Hans Price Academy focuses on delivering outstanding academic results and supporting students to achieve their aspirations. The Weston-super-Mare secondary school supports students skills and talents and wants to develop their environmental, social and community responsibility. The secondary school has the motto: “Ready to Learn – Ready to Teach – Ready to Lead” and wants pupils to leave prepared for the next stage of their education or start of their career. Hans Price Academy is committed to providing students with a varied and enriching curriculum and offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities for them to get involved with outside of class.

Ofsted

“Most teachers create a positive, calm and encouraging atmosphere in their classes and work hard at planning activities, which are supported well by resources that interest and engage the students. High quality display work is particularly effective in promoting a learning environment conducive to work. The behaviour of students around the academy and in lessons is good. Students are polite and courteous to one another, to staff and to visitors. A significant strength of lessons is the good relationships between teachers and students and between different groups of students who support in each other in small-group and pair work”.
