St Michael's School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated and fully qualified Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-ordinator from September 2025. The key task of the SENDCo is to ensure that the SEND provision is both efficiently and effectively managed across the EYFS, Pre-Prep and Prep. The successful candidate will be passionate and committed with a proven track record and who has creativity in their approach to encourage the children to become the very best that they can be. Applications from those who are not in receipt of a SENDCo qualification but have appropriate experience of working with SEND children and are willing to train will also be considered. Although primarily a SENDCo role, there is also the possibility of other additional responsibilities for the right candidate.
Information about the School
St Michael’s Church of England Preparatory School is a co-educational day school for pupils aged from three to eleven years. Situated in a residential area of Leigh-on-Sea, it was founded in 1922 by an order of nuns. The school has its own chapel and the education it provides is founded on Christian principles and practice. Pupils of other faiths are welcome and they and their parents are asked to support the ethos of the school.
Our vision is to have a school of happy and successful children all of whom are encouraged and supported to reach their potential in learning, achievement and personal development.
Underpinned through our Christian community we acknowledge and value that:
Every child is unique
Children learn best when they are happy, safe and secure
Our school community is enriched by diversity
It is not who a child is by birth that matters but rather what they make of their life (Non Quis Sed Quid).
Personal, social, moral and spiritual development are equally important as academic success
