Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) - Senior Manager, ESLT

Wetherby High

School is a forward-thinking school in a semi-rural area of North Leeds. We are

proud of our caring and inclusive reputation and have a strong team of

professionals committed to developing and delivering a rich learning experience

for all our students.

Our school

community is based upon an inclusive and restorative ethos that we believe best

allows every student the opportunity to realise their full potential.

We are now looking to appoint an

experienced and skilful SENCo to develop and lead our SEND strategy and

provision working as a Senior Manager across school and part of our Extended

Leadership Team.

An understanding

of, and commitment to, an inclusive school ethos, working restoratively

and ensuring the well-being of each child.

A successful track

record of managing successful and effective resource provision.

A strong knowledge

of current SEND practice, able to inspire and lead a forward-thinking and

successful SEND team to identify and meet the needs of our most vulnerable

learners.

A commitment to

providing a highly effective universal SEND offer and a willingness to

positively embrace change, challenge and opportunities.

It is essential

that the post holder shares our school ethos which is firmly rooted in a

restorative approach and the following values: to ‘Know our children well’: to be ‘Partners in Learning’: to develop

‘Character for Achievement’; to ‘Enjoy and Aspire’. We firmly believe that

in order to move forwards we need to be prepared and able to ‘do things

differently and do different things’.

We

significantly invest in the development and training of all colleagues who are

equally happy to share their expertise, skills and knowledge across the

organisation. If you are looking to be stretched and challenged within a

positive and creative staff team and you have a genuine desire to make a

positive difference to our children, please submit an application form and covering letter to hr@wetherbyhigh
