Lead Practitioner for Inclusive Teaching

Thank you for your interest in the role of Lead Practitioner for Inclusive Teaching.

Waterton is committed to strengthening inclusive mainstream education so that more pupils with SEND succeed through high quality classroom teaching. This role forms part of the Trust’s strategic use of Inclusive Mainstream Funding to strengthen workforce expertise, improve adaptive teaching and build consistent inclusive practice across schools. This role will build on the work undertaken over the past two years to strengthen high-quality teaching, adaptive practice, and the effective deployment of teaching assistants. It will work in partnership with our SENCO network to provide greater strategic drive and a sharper focus on meeting the needs of all learners across our settings.

The post supports the national direction set by the DfE to improve inclusion through strong teaching, early intervention and better staff development. It will help ensure classrooms remain the primary place where inclusion happens, supported by strong specialist practice where needed.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Warm Regards,

Laura Thresh

Head of SEND and Inclusion
