Main purpose of the role:
The Deputy SENCO will promote the progress and achievement of SEND students throughout the academy. This role will be student-focused and will ensure high standards and expectations for both
SEND students and staff. The Deputy SENDCo will work closely with the SENDCo to ensure all SEND needs are met within the academy, this includes deputising for the SENDCo in their absence.
Training for the role:
For holders of QTS the post will provide opportunities to gain a deep knowledge of SEND leadership and
management. Initially there will be a focus on mastering the skills required to work with all stakeholders
and students regarding all SEND matters rather than classroom practice. Successful mastery could lead to
the opportunity to complete the NPQ for SEND in preparation for a future role as a SENDCo. For
applicants without QTS the post will also provide opportunities to gain a deep knowledge of SEND
leadership and management alongside the development of the pedagogical skills needed to deliver a
high quality SEND provision. Strong candidates may also have the opportunity to complete a teacher
training programme to gain QTS or equivalent. This could then lead to the option to complete the NPQ
for SEND in preparation for a future role as a SENDCo.
