Associate Assistant Principal - SENDCO
About This Role
We are seeking to appoint an experienced and highly skilled SENDCo to join the College as an Associate Assistant Principal, leading and coordinating SEND provision across the whole school.
Horizon is proud to be an inclusive setting, recognised by both our Inclusion Quality Mark Assessor and OFSTED. Inclusion sits at the heart of our ethos, and we invest significantly in ensuring that all students can thrive. You will join a well-established and highly committed SEND and Inclusion team, including a trained Assistant SENDCo, two Additional Needs Coordinators, year-group Team Leaders, dedicated Intervention Leads and a team of Learning Support Assistants.
In this strategic leadership role, you will ensure that the needs of all students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are effectively identified, supported, and met across the College. This includes driving high-quality adaptive teaching, overseeing the implementation of targeted interventions, and ensuring that provision is both impactful and evidence-informed. You will lead the monitoring and evaluation of SEND provision, using robust data and practice review to secure strong outcomes for students through effective SEND plans, adaptive teaching, and well-targeted support.
The role includes a small teaching commitment, enabling you to model excellent classroom practice and ensure alignment with our Teaching and Learning Framework. We recognise the demands of meeting special educational needs, and teaching responsibilities will be carefully balanced to support your strategic impact.
