SENDco/Inclusions Lead

What skills and experience we're looking for

Qualifications

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in the UK.
• National Award for Special Educational Needs Coordination (NASENCo)—or a commitment to undertake the qualification within the first 2 years. The school would support the right candidate through this process.

Experience & Knowledge

• Successful teaching experience across the primary age range.
• Deep understanding of the SEND Code of Practice and statutory SEND regulations in England.
• Experience working effectively with children with diverse needs, including ASD, SEMH, and complex learning difficulties.

Skills & Personal Attributes

• Excellent communication, empathy, and interpersonal skills for liaising with families and external agencies.
• Strong organisational skills to manage competing priorities in a one-form entry setting.
• Resilience and a proactive, solution-focused approach to problem-solving.

Note

As a one-form entry school, this role will likely involve cross-school collaboration and a highly hands-on approach to both leadership and day-to-day pastoral care. Responsibilities are subject to regular review in line with the needs of the school.

What the school offers its staff

St Peter’s is a successful, over-subscribed, one-form entry Church of England primary school situated between Ravenscourt Park and St Peter’s Square in the heart of West London.

We hold extremely high expectations for all of our pupils and we are committed to ensuring that they are all supported and challenged to be the very best that they can be. Through a broad and creative curriculum, we provide a wealth of different opportunities for each and every child to achieve success.

We are looking to appoint an experienced SENDCO and Inclusion Lead to join our dynamic team. Alternatively, you might be an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge who, for the right candidate, the school would support through the completion of the National Award of Special Educational Needs Coordination Qualification.

Why work at St Peter’s?

Our children are amazing! They are well-motivated, with a true passion for learning and demonstrate outstanding behaviour at all times.

We are committed to supporting and promoting the health & wellbeing of our pupils and staff.

We celebrate diversity and are a school which is committed to equality & inclusion.

Being a one-form entry school, we are a close community that works very closely with parents and carers, offering a very supportive environment.

As a Church of England school, Christian values are at the heart of our policies and procedures, and even though candidates do not have to be practising Christians, they must be in sympathy with the Christian ethos of the school.

St Peter’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for the successful appointee in accordance with Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education legislation.
