Kingsbury Green Primary School is a successful and ambitious school with a highly successful track record for inclusive practice. We work together in a way that recognises our core values and help to develop them in our learning community. Our values are:

Ambition: aim high; work hard
Character: be yourself; be your best self
Empathy: be kind; think of others

Our school values are instilled into our school curriculum and daily life. We are determined that all pupils will reach their highest potential, regardless of their background or need, allowing them to grow as ambitious individuals.

We have a very successful and oversubscribed additional resource provision (ARP) which caters for 30 deaf pupils from Nursery to Year 6. They are supported by a team of home-grown teachers of the Deaf and specialist teachings assistants. We teach BSL as a modern foreign language to our children in Key Stage One and this supports the inclusive ethos in our school.

In addition to our provision for Deaf pupils, we have a small in-house managed provision for pupils with complex needs, some of whom are awaiting a place in a special school. We continue to develop this provision to enable our children to receive a curriculum that is matched to their needs.
Our recent OFSTED inspection highlighted provision for SEND as a strength in our school:

“Pupils with SEND do very well because their needs are understood and supported. This is typically through high-quality teaching and careful adaptations.”

“The school have been resourceful and imaginative in response to changing and increasingly complex levels of need presented by pupils at the school. The school has provided a highly supportive environment and teaching for a small number of pupils who need an alternative approach. This works alongside the very successful and well-embedded additional resource provision (ARP) for pupils with hearing impairments. Both these provisions share their expertise and dovetail well into the mainstream school, enriching the learning, behaviour and culture.”

The SENCO Role

The right candidate, as well as being an excellent teacher who can model good practice to colleagues, will also understand the statutory processes around SEND, for example the graduated approach and processes related to requesting and maintaining Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Applications and enquiries from teachers without the SENDCO qualification, but those working as assistant SENCO or those with experience of supporting learners with additional needs are welcome. We are willing to invest in and support the right candidate to achieve the NASENCO qualification.

The successful candidate would be joining a friendly and driven team of staff, all dedicated to positive outcomes for our pupils. They would have the opportunity to identify and coordinate training needs for our staff, contributing to a culture of professional development and ensuring that best practice related to SEND is shared and discussed.

The Person

We are seeking a SENDCo who:

• Has current SENDCo Leadership experience OR is willing to train to gain the SENDCo Qualification.
• Shares our vision of transforming learning to raise aspiration, secure enjoyment and love of learning and develop a sense of pride in all that we do.
• Puts children at the heart of everything they do and has high expectations of them especially those who are vulnerable or have additional needs.
• Is an outstanding and enthusiastic classroom practitioner with a proven track record of raising standards for all, but especially children with additional needs.
• Is an excellent leader with a passion and commitment to improving the life chances of children.
• Has a proven ability to lead, inspire and motivate others.
• Has a strong commitment to well-being and mental health for pupils and staff.
• Has a track record of developing effective partnerships with staff, governors, parents and the wider community agencies in order to drive forward change and shape the future for our pupils with additional needs. You will have the leadership qualities and drive to inspire and encourage staff and pupils to achieve their very best. You will have an innovative, inclusive approach to leadership and work closely with the Headteacher and Deputy Head.

We can offer:

• A team of skilled and committed staff who support inclusive practice.
