Wellfield Academy are seeking to recruit an Assistant Headteacher – SEND & Inclusion, as we continue our journey to sustained academy improvement.

Wellfield Academy is an ambitious, growing and thriving school. At our school, students experience inspirational and challenging teaching, excellent pastoral care and a genuine belief that every child can succeed.

We are one of just a small number of schools nationally to be chosen for the Department for Education’s Schools Rebuilding Project, which will see us move into a brand-new state of the art school in the coming years.

We are part of Endeavour Learning Trust, a small but steadily growing, well-established, highly respected and thriving Trust in the North West, currently spanning South Ribble, West Lancashire and North Sefton.

As a school situated in the heart of Leyland, one of our many strengths is our community spirit and family feel. Each student is known as an individual and supported by key staff, as well as being challenged to be the best they can be. At Wellfield, we believe that every child should be treated as we would want our own children to be.

We are dedicated to developing students who are aspirational, inclusive of one another and rooted in their community. We are extremely passionate about ensuring the successful development of each individual child within an ambitious learning environment.

As an Assistant Headteacher, you play a leading role in delivering the School Development Plan priorities, through bringing clear strategic direction to the development of the support systems and the whole school.

The successful candidate will play the leading role in delivering an outstanding education and providing strong and effective leadership across the academy for all those students with identified SEND needs, ensuring every student has an opportunity to play a full and active role in our academy. This role includes leading upon support for Looked After Children (including post-LAC), English as an Additional Language and those with medical conditions.

The successful candidate will also be expected to model best practice within the classroom and, as a result, there will be a small teaching commitment although this will be finalised based upon the strengths of the successful candidate. We are therefore open to applications from candidates who have taught at both primary or secondary phase in any subject area.

You will have the knowledge and understanding of the academy’s vision, aims, priorities, targets and action plans and an ability to write an annual departmental development plan and self-evaluation plan that is informed by accurate data analysis.

We are seeking an individual who has an organised and methodical approach to work, can demonstrate a passion for continual improvement and achievement, with an ability to inspire the confidence of students, parents and colleagues with enthusiasm and commitment to the role.
