Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding colleague to join our thriving and successful Trust and work as our whole school SENDCo.

We seek to appoint a SENDCo who will be the champion for our students with SEND. You will need to demonstrate a passion for inclusion to ensure that students reach their full potential, both academically and emotionally.

This is not a job for the faint-hearted and you will need to be resilient, strategic and calm under pressure.

You will need to have exceptional interpersonal skills and be able to articulate key concepts to a range of stakeholders, both internally and externally.

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in the strategic development of SEND support within the school and will be able to hold staff to account in their delivery of an inclusive curriculum.

We are fortunate in already having a very strong team in place with outstanding colleagues and inspirational leaders, working within excellent facilities.

Our most recent GCSE results demonstrate significant improvement in performance, with student progress above the national average. We are therefore seeking to recruit a colleague with excellent subject knowledge and clear evidence of their motivation and ability to deliver excellent outcomes for our SEND students.

Langdon Academy is a large 4-16 school, with over 2000 students across our primary and secondary phases, and is part of Brampton Manor Trust, along with Brampton Manor Academy, who have an enviable reputation both locally and nationally.

This appointment provides an opportunity to strengthen our team further with a new, talented and enthusiastic SENDCo who has significant experience in special needs education. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

The scale of Langdon, the fact that it also has a primary phase, and its membership of Brampton Manor Trust provide considerable opportunity for the continuing development of our staff. This post would suit an experienced SENDCo.

Please visit our website at www.langdonacademy.org to find out more information about the school.

All completed application forms must be sent via the TES portal, or to jobs@langdonacademy.org by the closing date below. Please note that CVs will not be accepted.

Brampton Manor Trust is committed to the safeguarding of children. Enhanced DBS checks will always be carried out on new employees.

Please note that this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You must give details on your application form of all offences, convictions, cautions or bind overs you have or any court cases that you have pending.

About Langdon Academy

Langdon Academy is a mixed, non-denominational all-through academy school for three to 16-year-olds located in East Ham in the east London borough of Newham. It has capacity for just over 2,400 pupils.

The school is part of the Brampton Manor Trust, a multi-academy trust which also runs Brampton Manor Academy. Langdon Academy (previously Langdon School) joined the trust in 2014.

The school was originally three separate institutions, built in 1953. In 1972, these schools - Burges Manor, Thomas Lethaby and East Ham Grammar School - were combined to form Langdon School, a mixed comprehensive that would later become Langdon Academy.
