Assistant Headteacher – SEND Provision

About this role

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.
