The Individual Learning (SEND) Department lies at the heart of the School’s outstanding academic provision and is central in ensuring that the needs of all pupils are met. The successful applicant will lead a department of highly experienced and collaborative teachers who work together extremely effectively to support the needs of each individual student. The Department has a wide range of professional experience and training, and the team collectively pride themselves on seeing each pupil as an individual learner with a unique profile of skills, aptitudes and interests. The perspectives offered by neurodiverse learners are perceived by the school as an enrichment for our community, and the department has been instrumental in the growth of the flourishing, student-led Neurodiversity Club.
Applicants must be qualified to teach pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties. Previous experience of leading a team and of overseeing applications for JCQ-regulated access arrangements is highly desirable.
The SENDCo leads a team of three experienced Individual Learning Needs (ILN) teachers who will work with individual pupils and with colleagues to ensure that teaching and learning strategies are adapted to the pupils’ needs and that pupils understand themselves as learners and are equipped to overcome barriers to learning. The department liaises closely with academic and pastoral staff and with the School’s Counsellors and Medical Team. The successful application will be expected to liaise with senior staff and pastoral leaders to ensure that ILN provision is considered in the development planning, priorities and policies of the school.
The salary will be commensurate with the post and will depend upon qualifications and experience.
