If so, we have a unique key influential post that will provide you with a fantastic opportunity to develop our school and achieve our vision.

Valence School is a KCC Foundation residential and day Special School for children and young people with physical disabilities, complex medical needs and associated learning and communication difficulties. We are part of the Kent Special Educational Needs Trust (KsENT) and have over 200 staff providing specialist teaching, social care, therapies and nursing care to an exceptionally high standard.

We are looking for an inspirational and ambitious leader who has the vision, drive, resilience, experience and personality to oversee the continuing development of the school and build on the strong foundations, laid by our existing Principal who is retiring, to take our school to the next phase.
