• Robust baseline, assessing and tracking of both traditional and non-traditional curriculum and learning programmes.
• Working with internal colleagues, critical friends, parents, and clinicians as well as the network of external colleagues in Local Authority SEN teams.
• High levels of self-reflection, motivation to improve own practice and a solution focused, positive approach to operational challenges.
• Management and direction of a team of support staff.

 

We believe in a culture of collaboration, empowerment and ownership so that we consistently deliver the best possible experience for all of our children, families and colleagues. We are committed to being part of a community of learners and recognising how we can work collaboratively to be more effective in managing workload and building professional resilience.
