Work closely with parents, carers, and external agencies to ensure a collaborative approach to meeting individual pupil needs.

Contribute to whole-school improvement planning and ensure that inclusion remains central to the school’s ethos and practice.

A collaborative, solution-focused approach and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils, parents, and staff.

Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children.
