Every decision we make is about the young people we serve, their learning experience and their personal development. We are looking to expand our team of talented professionals who excel in their field to help us on the next phase of our exciting journey.
Opportunity
We are seeking to appoint a SENCo who will lead a team of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals, who are based within the Inclusion Centre, which is at the heart of our school; as well as oversee specialist colleagues who are based across the school, supporting vulnerable learners within each year group, including Teaching Assistants and HLTAs.
At The Hinckley School, we are passionately committed to research-based practice and the impact it has on our learners. Staff continuously engage with the latest developments regarding inclusion and SEND practice within educational settings. Colleagues are engaging in CPDL which involves collaboration with SSAT and Post Graduate courses with Birmingham Newman University on Trauma Informed and Attachment Aware approaches, as well as working with the Local Authority and Leicestershire Virtual School and the Attachment Research Community (ARC). At The Hinckley School we are passionate about putting students first and invest a huge amount of time in staff CPDL so they can be the best practitioner they can be and provide a range of opportunities for practitioners to share best practice, both within the school and within the Trust.
