About the role
An exciting
opportunity has arisen to appoint a SENDCo from January 2027 (or earlier if
feasible) in our successful, innovative and inclusive school. We are an OfSTED rated good school (June
2025) and have an excellent reputation for being highly inclusive. We have had
a stable leadership team since opening, with many of our senior leaders being
with us from the first day of opening.
We are looking
for an experienced SENDCo with a strong SEND background to help set up and run
our brand-new SEND provision as an assessment centre, aiming to provide whole
family needs led assessments for pupils with social and communication
needs. It is intended that the provision
will be supported by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals who will work
together with education staff to undertake a range of assessments to produce
one co-ordinated plan, which involves parents, identifies the priority outcomes
for the child and is supportive of their provision in local schools. Initially in the first year the provision
will test and learn from pupils at Watercliffe Meadow school in order to build
a strong, capable team clear about the range of assessments and support they
can provide.
Please email Rachel Stone, our School Manager regarding any questions you may have and to request an application pack.
Visits to the school to meet our Headteacher are warmly welcomed and strongly encouraged to increase the likelihood of a successful application. Please email rstone@watercliffe.sheffield.sch.uk or telephone 0114 232 6603 to book at time.
Completed applications should also be sent to the same email address.
