School SENCO in London

We are a thriving, forward-looking and cosmopolitan IAPS Preparatory School for some 220 boys between the ages of 3 and 11.

SENCO required for January 2027 (or earlier)

Contract type: Part-time (0.6 FTE)

Contract term: Permanent

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated SENCO to join our ambitious and nurturing school community. We are seeking an inspiring professional with a deep commitment to inclusive education and a proven ability to ensure that every pupil, whatever his needs or starting point, can flourish academically, socially, and personally.

At Homefield Prep, we believe that exceptional pastoral care and outstanding teaching go hand in hand. Our commitment to educating the whole child is underpinned by a culture that celebrates individuality, fosters confidence, and champions the unique strengths of every learner.

The successful candidate will lead and coordinate our provision for pupils with SEND, working collaboratively with staff, families, and external specialists to ensure that support is both impactful and empowering. In addition, the role will include leading and delivering ELSA provision, supporting pupils’ emotional literacy, wellbeing, and social development across the school.

To excel in this role, you will bring strong expertise in SEND practice, a clear understanding of current legislation and best practice approaches, and the ability to guide and inspire colleagues across the school. You will be an advocate for inclusive pedagogy, a reflective practitioner, and a compassionate leader who places pupil wellbeing at the heart of every decision. This is a significant and rewarding role within a forward-thinking school that values innovation, professional growth, and a shared commitment to ensuring that every boy reaches his full potential.
