Salary: MPR/UPR Plus SEN Allowance (£2,270)
An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen for a confident and dedicated SEND specialist to play a pivotal role leading, developing and supporting practice for pupils with SEND in our Academy.
The successful SENDCo will ensure access to the curriculum for all pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities within the academy and will be responsible for the effective co-ordination and identification of need, appropriate intervention and mentoring. You will also monitor and evaluate the impact of the interventions for all pupils requiring additional support.
Our recent Ofsted (March 2022) celebrated the work of the whole staff team and, in relation to our SEND support, said:
'Staff provide strong support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They ensure that pupils with SEND access the full curriculum. Staff make sure that resources suit pupils’ needs. They regularly check how successfully pupils access the curriculum. Leaders communicate well with parents. They work very well with external agencies to support these pupils when this is appropriate.'
Come and join this great team and help us to continue to provide the best experiences and opportunities for our pupils.
About us:
Our Academy opened in September 2014. Our staff team have established an excellent learning environment, clear routines and very high expectations for our children. Our parents are committed to supporting us in achieving the best for their children and speak highly of the work that we do. We encourage parents and the wider community to work closely with us and regularly have visits within our local area that provide excellent learning opportunities for our children. These ‘real’ experiences are ones that they remember and that they will talk about for many years to come.
Our Academy has fantastic facilities, an outstanding teaching and learning team and most importantly, strong values. Being respectful, polite and fair are essential attributes for all children and adults to enable them to achieve their full potential. These values are very important to me.
We will ensure that you, our parents, are well informed, staff are clear about their roles and that our children can learn in a safe, stimulating and creative environment that supports their individual needs. For more information please visit https://www.beaconprimaryacademy.org/
