Advert

Since September 2019, St Peter’s in Sittingbourne and St Edward’s in Sheerness have been joined under an executive structure of governance and leadership. Both schools are seeking experienced and qualified part time SENCO’s or one full time SENCO to work across both schools.

The SENCo will work alongside the Senior Leadership Team to provide professional leadership for the schools in order to improve its success and ensure the highest quality of education for all its pupils, especially those with special educational needs (SEND) and those who are more able in specific areas (G&T).

The SENCo will support the Academy Principals to ensure that all staff recognise the importance of planning lessons and preparing resources in ways that will encourage the active participation, progress and achievement of all pupils within our inclusive schools. The SENCo will support and advise parents and carers on all SEN related matters as well as work with a range of external professionals.

The SENCo will co-ordinate, with the support of the Academy Principal and governors and within the context of the school’s aims and policies, the development and implementation of SEND and G&T in order to raise achievement and improve the quality of the education provided.

The SENCo will support staff who are involved in working with pupils with SEND by ensuring all those involved have the information necessary and develop the strategies required to secure improvements in teaching and learning and sustain staff motivation.
