Are you a team player that has a passion for making a difference to children’s lives?

St. Gregory’s Catholic High School is offering a wonderful opportunity for an SEND Administrator to join our successful and thriving school community. St Gregory’s is an exceptional place to work, staff say it is a privilege to work here and positive working relationships between staff teams and the children are a big strength of our school community.

The successful candidate will join a passionate and successful SEND team working in the SEND hub at the centre of the school. SEND provision at St Gregory’s is highly regarded by the wider community and our children with SEND make great progress and enjoy a positive school experience.

The main aspect of this role is to be responsible for providing accurate reports, data and correspondence on behalf of the SEND team and liaising with all relevant stakeholders and agencies.  Schools are busy places that require both team member adaptability and flexibility at times, but if you are hardworking, positive and want to work in one of the best schools in the North West, this opportunity is too good to miss for you to grow and be successful in your career whilst working in an important sector that makes a differences to young people’s lives.

Our school is at the heart of the thriving Catholic Parishes of West Warrington situated in an area of substantial growth next to all of the key motorway routes in the North West. We take pride in our relationship with the local community, partner primary schools and our partnerships within the archdiocese trust.

In January 2020, Ofsted’s inspection report, conducted under the new inspection framework, graded the school as ‘Good’ in every area and the school was graded as ‘Outstanding’ in our Section 48 Inspection of the Catholic Life provision of the school in February 2019. We encourage all applicants to read both reports and to review our school website too.

The opening paragraph from the Ofsted report reads: “There is a strong sense of community across the school which reflects the school vision. One pupil said “we are cared about as individuals, but because everyone cares, that makes us all one”

The school welcome and encourage potential applicants to discuss role with the Headteacher but this is not a formal requirement. We also encourage you to review our school website: https://www.stgregoryshigh.com/
