Thank you for your interest in The Dukeries Academy (TDA) and Academy Transformation Trust (ATT). Part of our Vision at TDA is to develop ‘Our People’. Being recognised as an exceptional place to work is important to us as we aspire to attract, retain, and develop the very best leaders and staff.

Our Mission at The Dukeries Academy is to transform lives by inspiring excellence and maximising opportunities for all. As a rapidly improving Academy, at the heart of the Ollerton community, we support every student to achieve the qualifications they need to progress confidently to the next stage of learning, training, or employment. To complement their qualifications, we also develop the skills and character traits, which will allow our students to become positive change makers in their own and other people’s lives.

At the Dukeries Academy, we live our values. We aspire to act with integrity, are ambitious in our purpose and are resilient in our pursuit of excellence. We are a Disability Confident Employer, at ATT we are passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and welcome all applications.

Our team of talented staff are friendly and professional, fully committed to the educational, pastoral, and well-being needs of our students. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational SENDCO to join this team. The ideal candidate will ensure the academy meets its statutory commitment in relation to SEND, secure and manage SEND funding and associated practices and assess and plan academy SEND provision in order that it meets the needs of all students including the training and development of all staff. This position is also an allocated teaching role; all subject specialisms are welcomed. You will be joining a dynamic and exciting team, creating a culture of excellence amongst our students.

About Academy Transformation Trust: Our ATT2030 Vision means we meet our young people where they are at and refuse to leave them there. Our pupils will leave us capable, competent and confident and take their place in the community of educated people. Our staff will be cared for, developed and they will be capable, competent and confident. We would love to hear from those who want to join us in that mission.

In return, you can expect:
