Lampard Community School is a special school in Barnstaple, North Devon. We educate children aged 5-16 with complex learning difficulties, all of whom have speech, language, communication and interaction needs (SLCN) and are working significantly below age related expectations. We are part of The Special Partnership Trust. All of our students have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Our school aim is for our students to lead independent, fulfilling and happy lives and to gain as many of the skills needed to do that during their time with us.

You will lead the development and implementation of a coherent, inclusive and well-sequenced curriculum aligned with the Trust’s SEN pathways, ensuring that all students are able to access meaningful learning and make strong progress.
The successful candidate will be a visible and collaborative leader, modelling excellent teaching practice while supporting and challenging colleagues to continually improve classroom practice. You will be an evidence-informed leader, able to analyse data, monitor impact and implement improvement strategies that strengthen teaching, curriculum design and student outcomes.
