Join Our SEND Team at John Masefield High School
We are seeking to appoint a dedicated member of staff to join the SEND team from September 2025. The successful candidate will be organized, proactive, and passionate about supporting students and their families.
At JMHS, it is our ambition that students with SEND achieve as well as other students, and we believe that the best support for students occurs in the classroom. We achieve this through simple, effective, and research-driven teaching, employing evidence-based adaptive and responsive teaching strategies. Our Curriculum, Assessment and Teaching (CAT) policy has been designed to support all students, particularly disadvantaged students and students with SEND. Further information about our CAT policy can be found on the school website.
JMHS was inspected by OFSTED in November 2022, which confirmed our good grading. Inspectors' comments included:
* Pupils behave well, are polite to their teachers, and considerate of their peers.
* Parents rate teachers’ high expectations, noting that they push pupils to do more. Many say teachers go ‘above and beyond’ for their children.
* The school offers unique and exciting opportunities for students.
* School leaders have constructed a rich and engaging curriculum.
In particular, inspectors highlighted the support for SEND students, stating: “Leaders provide strong support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This is because specialist staff accurately assess and identify their needs. Teachers and teaching assistants are skilled in adapting tasks for these pupils so that they can keep up with their peers.”
John Masefield High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service enhanced check, and further pre-employment checks will be conducted in accordance with KCSIE. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and the school may ask applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are 'spent' unless protected under DBS filtering rules) to assess their suitability to work with children. Shortlisted candidates will also be subject to an online Google Search.
