At Bishops Down Primary School and Nursery, we believe in nurturing children so that they become happy, confident, curious learners, who can drive their learning on through their lives. This ambition is reflected in our school vision, that forms the foundations of our school:
We bring our vision alive every day through the school's ASPIRE values - Achievement, Self-Belief, Perseverance, Independence, Respect and Equality. We make sure that these values are evident in the way we teach and develop our children, within a caring and kind school environment.
We are a main stream school with a designated Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) for children with physical disabilities (PD), which makes us quite different to other schools in our area. Our facilities include carefully designed care suites, a sensory and soft play area and disabled accessibility throughout the school. As a highly inclusive school, we ensure that all children are catered for within the whole school community, with access to all areas of the curriculum and after-school provision.
We currently have a part-time SENDO in post, but we are looking to extend our SEND team further to build our expertise and provide an outstanding SEND provision within our school. We are looking for someone who has SEND experience and skills to initially join us for one day per week, with the aim of extending this in the spring term to two days.
At Bishops Down Primary School we have:
1. Children’s well-being at the heart of our school
2. A clear focus on inclusion
3. Strong teamwork
4. A clearly articulated, values and skills-based curriculum
5. Whole-staff commitment to do our very best for our learners
What do we want in our new SENDCO?
6. A qualified and experienced SENCO
7. A strong communicator and team player
8. The ability to build and sustain positive relationships with all stakeholders
9. The ability to inspire those around them
Thank you for your interest in Bishops Down Primary School and Nursery.
