Does leading the SEN coordination in a school where every detail has been designed to children thrive sound appealing to you?

Set within a beautifully renovated historic building and surrounded by extensive outdoor learning spaces, this specialist school combines a calm, nurturing environment with a forward-thinking approach to education.

Since opening its doors, the school has built a strong reputation for supporting pupils with Autism and associated needs through small class sizes, therapeutic support, and a truly child‑centred ethos.

As the school continues to grow, they are seeking an ambitious and passionate SENCO to help shape the next chapter of their journey.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced SEND professional to influence whole‑school strategy, develop outstanding provision and make a lasting impact on the lives of children and young people.
