**SENDCO & HEAD OF STUDENT SUPPORT**

**Permanent, Full Time**

**Leadership Scale L9-12 (£53,972 - £58,105 pa)**

The School

Gordano School is a large and highly successful 11-18 comprehensive secondary school approximately eight miles outside Bristol. This includes a thriving Sixth Form of over 350 students that is strongly integrated into the school and offers significant opportunities for Post-16 teaching in over 30 courses. We are the sole secondary school serving the popular town of Portishead, and benefit greatly from being a central part of our community.

We view education as something bigger than just academic achievement. We have a record of considerable academic success, but believe that an education should be about preparing young people for their future lives in a complete sense. As well as consistently positive Progress 8 and Level 3 Value Added outcomes at GCSE and A Level respectively we place great emphasis on student leadership, an unparalleled extra-curricular programme and student progression to their next steps in a wide range of academic and vocational routes.

We pride ourselves on the very high quality support for colleagues at all stages of their career through internal and external CPD, including our membership of the Lighthouse Schools Partnership’s Centre of Professional Development, with staff involved across all levels of NPQ programmes. We maintain significant involvement in Initial Teacher Training and deliver comprehensive ECT induction in association with the Five Counties Teaching School Hubs Alliance and Ambition Institute. Our very large staff body allows regular opportunities for progression into leadership roles at all levels.

We were judged Outstanding in all categories in our last Ofsted inspection, but, just as importantly, seek to be a very happy school community with a big heart. This has never been more evident than in the last few years, where we have been incredibly proud of the response from our brilliant staff, children and families to the Covid pandemic.

The Role

We are seeking to appoint a talented, enthusiastic and highly motivated SENDCO who shares our vision of providing the best possible education for all of the children within our school so that they become independent and effective lifelong learners.

The role of SENDCO will require strategic planning, matching the needs of the student body with the most effective support as well as ensuring national and regional policy is implemented in line with best practice.

The SENDCO role will lead a well-established department including Deputy SENDCO, Assistant SENDCO, Teachers of Learning Support and Student Support Workers.

You will be able to effectively lead the team, working closely with all stakeholders to ensure that statutory requirements are fully considered when working with our students and families to meet our students additional needs.

**To be considered for this position you must have**:

- Qualified Teacher Status
- SENCO Qualification, or the willingness to do so
- Secondary school experience working very effectively with students with SEND
- Experience as a successful team leader and manager
- Ability to foster and maintain good relationships and work effectively with school stakeholders and external agencies
- Good knowledge of current educational thinking and developments, including excellent working knowledge of school responsibilities under The Equality Act (2010) and the Children and Families Act (2014)
- Experience in the development, delivery and evaluation of evidence-based SEND provision
- A personal commitment to high quality and excellence that will match and extend the school’s proven record
- Excellent ICT, organisational and communication skills

The Lighthouse Schools Partnership offers an excellent benefits package including contributory pension scheme, a comprehensive employee assistance programme and benefits (offering discounts on shopping), discounted on-site gym membership and on-site parking.

**Closing Date: 9am on Monday 3rd July 2023**

**Interviews: w/c 10th July 2023**

Gordano School supports Equal Opportunities Employment.

Gordano School is part of the Lighthouse Schools Partnership Trust. The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. Enhanced DBS checks are required for all successful applicants.
