Job overview
“Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today” is the theme that runs through the work of both staff and students at The Misbourne. This is a good school with great students. We want each one of them to aspire to be the best they can be without any limitations and it’s important to us that our teachers feel the same. Ability to teach English or Science would be advantageous but not essential.
What we can offer you:
· A strong team ethos, with caring colleagues
- An experienced SEND Manager and motivated team of specialist TAs
- High quality, bespoke training to help you develop your practice
· Superb students with supportive families
We are looking to appoint either an experienced or aspiring SENDCo to support us on our journey towards becoming world-class. We will provide appropriate training and support to gain accreditation for the national SENDCo qualification. You will be well-supported by an experienced SEND Manager who oversees the day to day running of the department and a team of specialist TAs.
The successful applicant will be a well-qualified teacher who is confident, engaging and resilient, with the ability to motivate our students, the SEN Team and their families. We believe passionately that there are no barriers to learning that cannot be overcome for any child and this role is central to us realising that ambition.
All teachers have the opportunity to develop their own teaching and leadership qualities, through our bespoke CPDL programme, following a relevant Masters course, NPQML/SL, SLE programme or off-site training of their own choosing through our bespoke professional learning programme. We have a strong focus on education research to inform our practice and link closely with the Teacher Development Trust, NACE and SSAT to name but a few.
Our staff tell us they genuinely feel like part of a team; a team who are striving to help each student flourish both academically and personally. That’s important to us, if we are going to embody our moto of “developing tomorrow’s leaders today” and if you are our kind of teacher, it will be important to you too.
It’s an exciting time to join us as we embark upon a new school vision, in which you will play a key role. Our students and staff are keen to meet you and show off our fantastic school, so why not come and visit before you apply? We very much welcome interested candidates to contact us to arrange an informal visit.
The closing date for applications is 9am on Thursday 23rd May 2019. To apply please write, no more than 2 sides of A4, outlining why you would be a suitable candidate to be SENDco at our school.

About The Misbourne
As Headteacher it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the trustees, staff and students to welcome you to The Misbourne. Thank you for showing an interest in working with us.
This is a good school where every student really does matter and where our team of professional and passionate staff works hard to instil the belief in each of them that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We believe that there are three things that are important to working in a school. Firstly, the students. We are fortunate to have polite and respectful students with well-supported families who want to work hard and do well but for some, lack the self-belief to really achieve their full potential. Secondly, a supportive staff body and investment in continued professional development. Staff are happy to work here and are very rightly proud of their school. They are supported by a comprehensive training programme that takes into account individual roles as well as career progression and aspirations. We are linked to two teaching schools and take a lead role in delivering training sessions for trainees from across Buckinghamshire.
Thirdly, our facilities. We are fortunate to have excellent facilities across the curriculum including a new building for the Sixth Form, English department and school café; extensive playing fields; three new IT suites and brand-new multi-million pound sports centre including dance space and fitness suite (free to use for staff). We have recently transitioned to Google in preparation for Year 7 commencing blended learning using chromebooks from September 2023.We believe that there are no barriers to learning that cannot be overcome. We strive for educational excellence in every lesson, every day, through a climate of high expectations, which are actively promoted in all aspects of school life. The Misbourne provides a learning environment that allows all students to flourish through mutual respect, kindness and a strong desire to achieve.
Through inspiring teaching; excellent pastoral care and strong partnerships with families and the wider community, our students leave us with the qualifications, skills and values needed to lead happy and successful lives and we are looking for similarly dedicated and inspirational colleagues to join us.
This is such an exciting time for the school and we welcome applications from prospective employees who share our vision, values and aspirations for students.
If you would like to visit us and see for yourself, I would encourage you to make arrangements for a tour via the school office admin@themisbourne.co.uk. Staff and students are exceptionally proud of our school and we would love to show you around.
