The Role

The successful SENDCO will lead and coordinate SEND provision across the school, working closely with teaching staff, senior leaders, parents and external agencies to ensure outstanding outcomes for students with additional needs.

You will play a key role in shaping SEND strategy, supporting inclusive classroom practice, monitoring student progress and ensuring learners receive the tailored support they need to thrive.
