Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCO)

Lampton School is a large, mixed, multi-ethnic 11-18 school. We were judged as "outstanding" in all categories by Ofsted in May 2008 and again in May 2013. We are the lead school for the London West Alliance and a SCITT. As a member of the Hounslow Education Partnership we can offer staff excellent opportunities for professional learning and career progression.

A unique opportunity has arisen to lead Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision across the school in the role of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCO). We are looking for a dynamic and resilient individual who is capable of highly effective SEND strategic leadership and knows how to deliver exemplary SEND provision to the whole school. We are seeking an experienced SEND professional who is committed to removing barriers for all learners to ensure our students achieve the very best outcomes.

The successful candidate will be joining a strong and effective Inclusion team. Many team members are highly skilled and well trained professionals who are passionate about enabling young people with SEND. We are a multi-disciplinary team and the postholder will have the opportunity to work alongside a wide range of external agencies. It is an exciting time to join Lampton Inclusion; in our recent external review, it was stated, “SEND is powerful at Lampton”.

Lampton School actively encourages and supports the safeguarding and protection of all its students. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure. In accordance with the DfE's Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023 statutory guidance, we will complete a search of publicly available content online relating to any candidate seeking to work at Lampton School.

Please read the Person Specification and Applicant documents, and either apply through TES or send a completed Staff Application Form and Equal Opportunities Form to the Headteacher’s PA, Rina Sehgal: rsehgal@lampton.org.uk. CVs will not be accepted.
