Job Description:
Walliscote Primary School is looking for an assistant headteacher who will be responsible for inclusion at the school including the SENDCo role.
Hours: 06 FTE
We are seeking a dedicated and experienced leader to join our vibrant and inclusive primary school community. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed professional to lead and develop SEND and EAL provision across the school, ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive.
You will need to be:
•Someone who is passionate about inclusion and has high aspirations for all pupils
• Can support develop an inclusive culture within the school
• Be responsible for the strategic development of SEND provision in the school.
• Oversee the day-to-day operation of the SEND policy and coordinate provision for pupils with SEND.
• Work closely with pupils, staff, families, and external agencies to ensure the best possible outcomes for all learners.
• Lead and support staff in identifying, assessing, and meeting the needs of pupils with SEND.
• Monitor and track the progress of SEND pupils and contribute to whole-school development plans.
• Lead, develop, and implement an effective EAL strategy across the school.
• Assess the language needs of EAL pupils and coordinate targeted support programmes.
• Model high-quality EAL teaching and provide professional development for staff.
Why choose Walliscote?
• Inclusive and supportive: we have a real commitment to inclusivity and providing support for all children, regardless of their individual needs or learning styles and have experienced and dedicated staff and resources for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
• Diverse: our school community is enriched by children from over 20 different countries, all from diverse backgrounds that bring wider perspectives to the classroom. Pupils have a unique multicultural opportunity in which to learn and play.
• Popular school: we are a popular choice for parents in the Weston-super-Mare area. Our unique cultural diversity helps our pupils to develop a global perspective – we learn how to interact with people and be culturally sensitive.
• Challenge and support: we grow good quality teachers by offering a supportive and collaborative environment where you'll receive ongoing professional development and coaching to excel in your career. You’ll work hard but develop as a teacher and make a big impact in and around the school community.
• Local culture and heritage: Being situated in the center of a popular seaside town, we are in close proximity to a huge beach, local parks, library, the museum and the theatre. This facilitates the opportunities for our children to enjoy wider learning, play and cultural experiences. Deeply woven into the community's identity, the school opened in 1897 and has been part of the fabric of Victorian Weston ever since.
What we offer:
• a supportive and collaborative environment where all staff are valued and empowered to achieve their best and always be proud of who they are and what they do
• a central team with education specialists in school improvement, innovation and development, SEND and education welfare
• a diverse and inclusive group of academies where every child is valued and celebrated
• the opportunity to learn new things or develop existing skills with quality, ongoing professional development and a series of career pathways to help you grow and excel in your teaching career
