Red Kite is a brand-new independent special educational needs school which will cater for up to 60 pupils with social and emotional health needs. 

The school is based in the beautiful market town Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. This is an exciting opportunity for anybody who wants to be a part of the successful development of a brand new setting and make a difference to education of our pupils. 

The opportunity

Enjoy a rewarding education career and have a real impact on pupil’s lives. Join an amazing team making our schools and classrooms supportive, enriching places where vulnerable pupil and young people achieve far more than they ever expected.

As a SENDCo you will Work with the Headteacher and therapy team to determine the strategic development of the SEND policy.

Who we are looking for

We are looking to welcome an outstanding, innovative and determined SENCO to be responsible for the strategic leadership development of Special Education Needs provision with the tenacity to turn ideas into reality.
