Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School is a successful, oversubscribed school with 1809 students on roll including 297 in the Sixth Form. It is situated close to the centres of Sheffield and Chesterfield on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
The Governors are seeking to appoint two Assistant SENDCos who will support the provision of SEND across the school. Under the direction of the SENDCo, the postholders will ensure that students with additional needs receive high‑quality, personalised provision that enables them to overcome barriers to learning, achieve in line with expectations, and thrive within an inclusive school community.
This role would suit a candidate who has a SENDCo qualification or has significant experience of working with children with SEND and is willing to undertake this qualification on appointment.
On appointment the specific duties of the two successful candidates will be determined by experience, skills and interest.
