What the school offers its staff

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in the position of Assistant Headteacher (Inclusion & Senior SENDCo) at Bridge Learning Campus. Our school is a mixed, all-through academy for pupils aged 3-16 from wards across South Bristol. The school community reflects the richly diverse local community it serves, is growing in all phases and has improved rapidly and sustainably in recent years.

This role will be responsible for the strategic leadership of SEND across our campus. You will lead our two SENDCos and our SEMH Lead, who work closely together to meet the needs of our SEND learners, who make up nearly 30% of our school cohort. You will ensure outstanding teaching & learning and additional support is in place, guaranteeing a high-quality education for all SEND pupils. Since this is a new and additional role with our leadership team, the successful candidate will report directly to the Headteacher for the first two terms in post whilst the role is shaped to ensure maximum impact for the 2025/26 academic year and beyond. Since this is a role that will operate throughout our all-through setting, this will also support the candidate to build a deep understanding of our Early Years, Primary and Secondary phases.

Working at BLC enables all staff to actively participate in the transformative power of education. Our school mostly draws students from the areas of Hartcliffe, Whitchurch, Withywood, Filwood and Knowle West, in which are some of the wards of highest deprivation in our city. We are committed to accelerating our pupils’ progress and inspiring them to be confident and respectful young adults. We aim to build our pupils’ confidence through outstanding learning opportunities and inspiring experiences. All our staff understand the importance of their own graft and model this for our pupils. The skills and knowledge of our staff empower our pupils to be the best, genuine version of themselves.

This was recognised by Ofsted’s full inspection of our school in 2021, judging our school to be “Good” in all areas. As headteacher, and on behalf of all our staff, I am proud of this achievement and its endorsement of the hard work we have put in for the benefit of our pupils (rather than for Ofsted!). However, our pupils deserve an outstanding school experience, and we remain ambitious to make further improvements for our future.

If this opportunity appeals to you and resonates with your own values and principles and you believe you can contribute to our community through this role, please read on and do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to find out more. Contact details can be found further on in this pack.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Rupert Maule

Headteacher
