You will support them to access review meetings and help to give them a voice around the school ensuring that they can access the full breadth of the curriculum inside and outside the classroom.
You will be calm and consistent in your approach, firm but fair, with a commitment to inclusion and high expectations for students with SEND.

About Coombe Dean School
As a school, we have much to be proud of. We work hard at fostering positive relationships with pupils and families alike and this supports a safe and calm learning environment for our pupils. We value the consistency and transparency of a very simple behaviour system that is built around mutual respect and learning how to get things right rather than being told what you have done wrong. The strong pastoral provision supports our pupils throughout their education journey, starting from transition from primary school and through to employment, further education and training.
