The SENCo (and potential Assistant Headteacher, for the right candidate) will take a central role in assisting the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, and Evolution Academy Trust to develop our school in accordance with its shared values and development plans.

Our SENCo plays a vital role in supporting the inclusion and achievement of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities across the primary age range.
