Sendco

Inclusion is not an add-on at LSA - it is central to our identity and our ambition. We believe that every student, regardless of background, need or prior educational experience, deserves to thrive, participate and achieve. The SENDCo leads that commitment in practice, ensuring that our most vulnerable and complex students receive the identification, support and advocacy they need to succeed in a demanding and creative environment.

This is a strategic and operational leadership role. You will oversee SEND provision across the academy, manage EHCP processes from initial consultation through to annual review, develop inclusive practice across all teaching and pastoral teams, and work with families and external agencies to ensure that every student with additional needs is genuinely known and well supported. LSA draws students from across multiple London boroughs, and you will need the experience and confidence to work effectively across different local authority systems, processes and expectations.
