We are looking to appoint an outstanding SENCO and teacher who is aware of the key barriers to learning students experience and has an impressive track record in ensuring that teaching, learning and assessment are wholly inclusive in a secondary school setting.

Through working closely with all staff he/she is responsible for the development, monitoring and evaluation of the school’s Special Educational Needs Policy.
