• Manage and develop the SEND team, modelling best practice and supporting class teachers and support staff to deliver effective interventions

• Lead and coordinate annual EHCP reviews, liaising with parents, external agencies and the local authority

• Use assessment data to evaluate intervention impact, contributing to school self-evaluation and improvement planning for SEND

• Promote inclusive practice across the curriculum, upholding the school’s Christian values of respect, care and high expectations

Person Specification

• A qualified SENCO or experienced SEN practitioner with substantial recent primary experience

• Strong working knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice, EHCP processes and multi-agency collaboration

• Proven success in raising outcomes for pupils with SEND through evidence-based strategies

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with pupils, families and professionals

• A commitment to the ethos of a Church of England school and the holistic development of all learners

• Highly organised, reflective and able to maximise impact within a focused two-day-a-week schedule
