• Establish high expectations for behaviour, creating a safe, respectful environment where pupils take pride in their work.
• Oversee pupil behaviour logs and contribute to positive behaviour support strategies.

SEND & Inclusion

• Liaise with parents, carers, senior staff and external agencies regarding pupil progress, wellbeing and safeguarding.

• Attend meetings, parent evenings, and CPD/inset training.
• Maintain accurate records including registers, attainment data and reports.
• Contribute to departmental schemes of work, resources and curriculum development.
• Deputise for the Assistant Headteacher (SEND & Inclusion) when required.

Wider School Contribution

• Participate in community activities aligned with the ethos of the school.
• Support extra-curricular clubs, events, trips and enrichment opportunities.

What We are Looking For

• A committed practitioner with a passion for SEND and inclusive education.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• The ability to differentiate and personalise learning effectively.
• A reflective, resilient practitioner eager to grow and develop.
