Assistant SENDCo and Pastoral Lead
Thank you for your interest in the Assistant SENDCo and Pastoral Lead position at Fonthill Primary Academy, a school within the family of Trust in Learning (Academies).
This is an exciting time for Fonthill Primary. In September 2022, we received a Good Ofsted judgement and we pride ourselves on the kind, supportive ethos of our school. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and commitment of our school community, including children, teachers, staff, and parents.
We are now building on this success to further strengthen our school's reputation and continue to provide exceptional education. Together, we are prioritising oracy, achievement for all, early reading, and supporting children to be future ready. This comprehensive approach involves not only enhancing learners’ communication skills but also ensuring equitable access to quality education.
Our school is a vibrant and dynamic place that plays a pivotal role in the educational experience of our learners. It emulates history as it is an older building which we try to nurture and share its history. It encompasses a diverse range of facilities and outdoor spaces designed to foster learning, creativity, physical activity, and social interaction. For a one form entry school, we are lucky to have lots of outdoor space! We have large, well-equipped play areas to promote physical development and social interaction through play, as well as two courtyards, with raised beds and fruit trees. All EYFS and Key Stage One classrooms have direct access to their own outdoor learning spaces. We also have a Forest School area which we are continually developing and enhancing. Our classrooms are well sized and equipped for learning. Supporting this, are intervention classrooms for each Key Stage and a well-equipped library. We have three ELSA rooms to support with our pastoral offer and these spaces provide a safe space for children.
Trust in Learning (Academies) is committed to high quality professional development and career opportunities for all staff. We seek to recruit the very best staff and to ensure that they are fully supported as we help them to develop their own careers.
This is a real opportunity to join a dynamic team who are focused on providing the very best education for all children. We would warmly welcome all potential applicants to contact us at the school to arrange a visit.
