They have been a part of the local community in South East London for more than 300 years. Underpinned with a Christian ethos, the school welcomes staff, and students from all faiths.

With learning at the heart of everything they do, they set the highest of expectations with students challenged to achieve academic and personal excellence, regardless of any barriers that may lie in their path. To support, they are also lucky enough to offer fantastic media, technology, and sports facilities.

This is an exciting time to be joining having recently achieved their best ever GCSE outcomes with 56% achieving grade 5+ in English and Maths and a P8 score of +0.48. VI form results were excellent with 58% of grades at A*-B rewarding the excellent investment from leadership and staff into continuously improving the school in all areas.

The need has arisen due to the retirement of the previous, long-standing SENDCo and they are seeking an excellent classroom teacher, that is highly motivated, and ambitious SENDCo to lead their thriving Learning Development team.

SEND is a very strong area of the school with a track record of successful outcomes for students. The team consists of the SENDCo, Deputy SENDCo and 8 LSAs. There are currently 35 students on roll with EHCPs and 15% of students are on the SEN register. The ambition for all students is to believe they can make outstanding academic progress and the SENDCo plays a critical role in influencing this through teaching and learning so that every student with additional needs can achieve and be successful.

If you are a dedicated, motivated, and determined individual looking for an opportunity to make your mark, this is the perfect opportunity for you to join our journey of success.

The role calls for an individual who is able to inspire, challenge and motivate students and staff. You must have the highest of expectations of every student, be enthusiastic, flexible and have a desire to see SEND continue to flourish as well as the desire to become a valued member of the school.

Whilst entering as a substantial part of the middle leadership team, the expectation and opportunity is there for an aspirational leader to join the SLT very quickly.

Benefits include but are not limited to:

• Exceptional salary: 5%-8.5% higher than the national average

• Large, collaborative team of cluster schools supporting in all areas.
