Job Introduction
A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced and passionate SENCO, who is dedicated to making a real difference in children’s lives, to join us at Ark Dickens Primary Academy, a lovely 2 form entry school with a Nursery, located in the heart of Portsmouth. We are seeking an inspiring and committed SENCO to help lead our school’s mission to transform the lives of our wonderful children.
Becoming part of the Ark network in September 2014, we are a school with high aspirations and expectations to ‘Be Our Best’ in all that we do, reflecting our ethos of ensuring every child is provided with every opportunity to reach their potential.
As the most disadvantaged school in the area, we face significant challenges. We take those challenges and turn them into incredible opportunities to make lasting change. If you would love to lead and inspire our staff and children and further develop innovative ways to meet the needs of our young learners, some of whom have complex needs, we’d love to hear from you.
We are proud to be a relational school, committed to building strong relationships across our community, raising aspirations and creating an inclusive environment where every child, regardless of their background or ability has the provision and support they need to achieve great outcomes emotionally, socially and academically.
