All Saints CE Primary School in Wigston, Leicestershire is a thriving, happy and popular school, with capacity for 210 children, where the individual abilities and needs of all children are recognised and catered for and where every child feels their achievements are celebrated. A key feature of the school is Footsteps, its specialist unit provision for primary aged children who have a diagnosis of communication and interaction difficulties and are not accessing mainstream education. We are now seeking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher to lead SEN and Inclusion across the school and with specific responsibility for leading the Footsteps Unit Provision.
Footsteps opened in 2018, and all of the children have an Educational Health Care Plan for their specific needs. The Unit initially opened with just 4 children and 3 staff and has grown to 20 children from the local area and wider county attending the provision. The provision has a fantastic reputation and is ready to grow further with exciting plans to increase numbers to 30 in the near future.
The ethos at Footsteps is to create a nurturing, supportive learning environment that inspires positive behaviour and ensures every individual feels valued, safe and respected. We view the promotion and teaching of positive behaviour as essential to fostering academic success, independence and meaningful participation within the community.
