Calling all experienced or aspiring SENCOs. Do you want to work in a school with a well established ethos of inclusivity? Would you like to support children in the mainstream, in a DSP and those children with special school names in a bespoke provision? We have strongly established links with the LA and are a clear inclusion team across both of the school buildings.
Permanent SENCO- TLR2B
0.6 teaching commitment in the mainstream or the SEN unit dependent upon experience
Start date: Aug 2025
At Kestrel Mead our inclusion offer is second to none and recognised within the trust, the local authority and beyond. I know the challenges and joys of being a SENCO, after holding this role on my journey to headship, and I am eager to coach and support the right candidate in the role. As a split site school, there is a SENCO at each building ensuring that you will not be working in isolation. You will also have monthly review meetings with myself to look at complex cases and determine next steps. You will be part of the TMET SEN network. We will support the right candidate on acquiring the SEN qualification if not already obtained.
Could this be the right role for you?
Meet the Principal Q&A drop in session: Thursday 3.45-4.15pm
