SENDCO at Durrington High School

We are delighted to be able to advertise this exciting leadership role at our school. We are looking for a dynamic, committed and caring individual who can not only make a real difference to the education of
students with additional learning needs but also contribute to whole school improvement work.

The role is aimed at either someone who is currently a deputy SENDCO looking to step up to lead a
whole area or an existing SENDCO who is looking for a new challenge in a dynamic and driven school
environment. We are happy to consider applications from candidates with (or without) the current
NASENCO or the new NPQ for SENDCOs. We are determined to find the right person who can make a
real difference and that you fit with our values and school ethos.

As a leader and part of our Extended Leadership Team within the school you will help in maintaining a
calm and purposeful learning environment, so that all students can make the most of the excellent
teaching and take full advantage of our rich and diverse curriculum. We are relentless about having the
highest of aspirations and expectations for every one of our students; this being a key feature of our
success with all children but especially those who have had additional needs over recent years.
You will be joining a hugely successful Extended Leadership Team, consisting of leaders at all stages of
their journey who are knowledgeable, committed and passionate about delivering fantastic outcomes for
our young people. One of our Assistant Headteachers is also a qualified SENDCO so you will have
expert support and line management.

This will be an enriching and exciting experience for any colleague who joins the team. In return we will
offer you the opportunity to develop as a leader both in your knowledge and skills and to work in a
hugely supportive and driven team of leaders.
