SENCo - Learning Support Lead

KGS is seeking to appoint an outstanding Learning Support Practitioner to efficiently lead the Learning Support department.

At KGS, Learning Support is a well-established and integral part of the school. Students with underlying learning difficulties and/or disabilities benefit from the outstanding range of opportunities available to all students across the school.

We require a highly qualified practitioner to lead this important department. The successful candidate will ensure the current SEND policy is effectively followed and work closely with the Assistant Head Teaching and Learning to continuously review and develop the work of the SEND department to support student needs and develop staff awareness.
