We are seeking to appoint a well qualified and enthusiastic Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENDCO).
At LRGS we have a strong culture of child-centred pastoral care, and dedicated staff committed to supporting children with additional needs.
Special educational needs provision is very important to us, and we work hard to support these pupils to thrive. The role of SENDCO is therefore an important one, central to much of what we aim to achieve as a school.
The successful candidate will be an associate member of the school's Senior Leadership Team, and play a pivotal role in the strategic leadership and management of the SEND provision across the school.
We want our SENDCO to be a high-quality teacher, able to demonstrate the best classroom practices and support other teachers. We would welcome conversations at interview around what level of teaching commitment our SENDCO will have, including the balance between curriculum, SEND specialist teaching, whole class, small group and 1:1 intervention teaching.
The school have recently completed a review of the Learning Support Department and SEND provision across the school. The recommendations from this review will be appealing for someone looking to have impact through delivering a longer-term strategy of improvement.
Our new SENDCO will also be joining the school at an exciting time of development as we make progress through the Priority School Building Programme and the potential for considerable investment in our school accommodation.
You will find LRGS to be a thriving community of diverse and talented pupils, outstanding colleagues, and supportive parents and carers.
