Thank you for your interest in applying for the role of Assistant Principal - SENDCo  at the Co-op Academy Strinesdale.

I am delighted that you are interested in joining us at such a crucial point in our evolution.  This really matters. As a founder member of the Co-op Academies Trust our mission is to work in the service of making sure our community has the very best academy, so that our young people can overcome disadvantage to achieve success.

We are seeking a leader with the authority, strategic clarity and moral purpose to lead SEND provision to an exceptional standard. Someone who understands that inclusion and high expectations are inseparable; that adaptive teaching is a core entitlement, not an add-on; and that the quality of identification, intervention and partnership with families directly shapes students’ life chances. 

We offer a wide range of benefits and rewards to recognise the part you play in our success:

Our employee benefits package includes:
