SENDCO L8-L10

(This is a Leadership role and therefore not suitable for ECTs) To start January 2025 At Holy Trinity, the leadership team, staff and governors are completely focused on nurturing each individual in order that they reach their full potential. We are determined to raise standards for our pupils and to develop independent, aspiring and caring young people. You will be joining the school at a time of innovation, development and rapid improvement, building on our strong foundation of care, commitment and challenge; in-house training opportunities provide quality CPD aimed at ensuring the very best practice for teaching and learning in-line with our Holy Trinity Standard and school development plans. Staff are also encouraged to identify their own training needs and develop as reflective practitioners; they are valued and supported to grow as professionals. Our students are challenged to be aspirational for themselves and are nurtured to develop a growth mindset. Strong relationships underpin our cohesive and forward-looking community. Staff and pupils are proud to be part of our school. Our recent Ofsted report acknowledges that we are an "inclusive and welcoming school". Holy Trinity is a 3 - 16 Catholic and Church of England through school which opened in September 2012 in a purpose-built, state of the art building. We have a 470 place primary phase and a 700 place secondary phase. Our 3 - 16 through-school status offers exciting and innovative learning opportunities which enhance progress and create a seamless transition between Key Stages 2 and 3. Our Catholic and Church of England values form our distinctive Christian ethos, and this guides and supports everything we do in school. Ofsted state that "lessons are calm and pupil benefit from stable routines" and our new behavior policy supports this. Our pupils respond well to carefully planned lessons and to teachers who build positive relationships. We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher who is either currently working as SENDCO/assistant SENDO in their school or who is looking for the next step in their career and is working towards gaining the NASENCO award or is prepared to do so within the first two years of being appointed in the role. You must be passionate about teaching and learning, ensuring equity of provision for young people and be an excellent communicator. You must have the determination to drive our school forward; raising standards and creating outstanding life chances for our all our pupils, particularly those with SEND. You must be able to think and plan strategically to ensure SEND provision at Holy Trinity is high quality whilst being able to manage the day-to-day operational aspects of this role. In the role, you will oversee the work of the Primary Phase SEND Leader but be based in the secondary phase where you will manage the SENDCO team. You will work closely with teaching staff to ensure high quality provision is in place and provide training and support where needed. o Are you interested in working in an innovative and forward-thinking environment with professionals who are keen to move our school forward? o Do you have a passion for ensuring equity of provision for all young people? o Do you have good knowledge of working with pupils with SEND and a clear understanding about how to secure the very SEND best provision? o Do you have excellent communication skills in order to build good relationships with pupils and parents? If so, we want to hear from you. In turn, we can offer:

• A supportive and caring school community where SLT are committed to ensuring staff wellbeing is protected and workload is sensible
• A SEND team who are committed to continuous professional development and to supporting our pupils to make the best possible progress
• A bespoke, in-house CPD programme which allows staff to be reflective about their own practice and take ownership of their own development as well as the opportunity to work towards NPQs or other professional awards/qualifications
• A purpose-built state of the art school building, ample parking, access to our school gym in the evenings and your own dedicated classroom
