Assistant Headteacher - SEND Provision

About the vacancy

An exciting

opportunity has arisen to appoint an Assistant Headteacher (AHT) from January

2027 (or earlier if feasible) in our successful, innovative and inclusive

school. We are an OfSTED rated good

school (June 2025) and have an excellent reputation for being highly inclusive.

We have had a stable leadership team since opening, with many of our senior

leaders being with us from the first day. We are looking

for an AHT with leadership experience and a strong SEND background to set up

and lead our brand-new SEND provision as an assessment centre, aiming to

provide whole family needs led assessments for pupils with social and

communication needs. It is intended that

the provision will be supported by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals

who will work together with education staff to undertake a range of assessments

to produce one co-ordinated plan, which involves parents, identifies the

priority outcomes for the child and is supportive of their provision in local

schools. Initially in the first year the

provision will test and learn from pupils at Watercliffe Meadow school in order

to build a strong, capable team clear about the range of assessments and

support they can provide.
