About Lower Meadow Primary Academy

Lower Meadow Primary Academy is a welcoming and ambitious school committed to ensuring every child feels valued, supported and empowered to achieve their full potential. We believe that inclusion is at the heart of exceptional education and that every pupil deserves the opportunity to attend, engage, succeed and thrive. Through strong relationships, high expectations and a collaborative approach with families and external partners, we strive to remove barriers to learning and create an environment where all children can flourish.

We are seeking an exceptional, values-led leader to join our Senior Leadership Team as Assistant Principal - Inclusion. This is a significant whole-school leadership opportunity for an individual who is passionate about supporting children and families, developing outstanding provision and driving meaningful improvement across inclusion, SEND and pastoral care.

As a non-teaching member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will have the capacity and influence to lead strategic developments, support staff, work closely with families and ensure the best possible outcomes for all pupils.

The Role

The Assistant Principal - Inclusion will provide strategic and operational leadership across inclusion, SEND, safeguarding, attendance, behaviour and pastoral care. Working closely with the Principal and leadership team, you will help shape the school's vision and ensure that inclusive practice remains central to decision-making, culture and school improvement.

You will lead and develop a skilled team of inclusion and pastoral professionals, ensuring children receive timely support and that barriers to learning, attendance and achievement are successfully addressed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide strategic leadership for inclusion, SEND and pastoral provision across the school.
  • Fulfil the statutory duties of SENCo, ensuring high-quality identification, assessment and provision for pupils with additional needs.
  • Lead and develop systems that support attendance, behaviour, wellbeing and safeguarding.
  • Manage and develop key members of the Inclusion and Pastoral Team to deliver outstanding support for pupils and families.
  • Ensure robust SEND processes, including EHCP applications, reviews and effective use of available resources and funding.
  • Build strong partnerships with families, local authorities and external agencies to secure the best outcomes for children.
  • Drive a culture of high expectations, ensuring inclusive practice is embedded throughout teaching and learning.
  • Contribute to whole-school leadership, strategic planning and continuous school improvement as a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

What We Are Looking For

  • A highly effective and inspirational leader with a strong commitment to inclusion and equity.
  • A qualified SENCo who holds the statutory National Award for SEN Coordination.
  • Significant experience of leading SEND provision and supporting vulnerable pupils.
  • Excellent knowledge of safeguarding, attendance, behaviour and pastoral systems.
  • The ability to analyse information, develop effective provision and secure positive outcomes for children.
  • A collaborative leader who can build strong relationships with staff, pupils, families and external professionals.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage complex casework and statutory processes effectively.
  • A commitment to maintaining ambitious expectations for every child, regardless of circumstance or need.

Why Join Lower Meadow?

This is a unique opportunity to take on a senior leadership role where inclusion is central to the school's vision and future development. You will have the autonomy, support and capacity to make a tangible difference to the lives of children and families while helping shape the strategic direction of the school.

We strongly encourage prospective candidates to visit the school and experience first-hand the warm, inclusive culture of Lower Meadow Primary Academy.
