SEND Manager

At PCSA we believe that education is the key to a happy and successful future and that academic achievement with pastoral care for all students should be at the centre of all that we do each day. 

As a school that puts “Students First” we expect the highest standards from our students. All of our students are given the opportunity to excel at what they do best and are supported in their mastery of the curriculum through well-planned and challenging lesson activities. Our curriculum provides all students with an excellent grounding in traditional, academic subjects whilst also offering opportunities to pursue their passion. We see it as our duty to know every student and unlock their potential. We believe in investing in our staff and aim to develop teachers to be the very best they can be professionally. We expect our teachers to be subject experts.

What we believe in and what we are achieving at PCSA

• We have a happy school community where students come first and all staff are valued and cherished.
• We have developed the whole child as a successful learner, a confident individual and a responsible citizen.
• We have raised standards for all students by sustaining and enhancing performance – especially in the core areas of English, Mathematics and Science.
• We have met the needs of all students with the appropriate challenge for all through a broad and balanced curriculum that increasingly is personalised in the upper school years (14 – 16).
• We will continue to fulfil our moral purpose by engaging and collaborating to help improve the life chances of all young people, locally, nationally and globally.

The Priory Learning Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust of primary and secondary schools – and in time (we hope) special schools. This will add real inclusivity to our Trust.

The PLT grew from a passion to bring the power of partnership and sharing to bear and provide a first-class education to a wide range of children, of all abilities and social class groupings, in WSM and especially in North Worle.

We believe that this approach will create happy, confident, and high-achieving students. This truly collaborative approach will also develop great staff relationships and improve staff wellbeing. It will healthy challenge and healthy competition.

The Priory Learning Trust will:

• Support the aspirations of young people and their ambitions for their future success.
• Contribute to producing aspirational, well-rounded, confident and active citizens.
• Offer a broad range of qualifications.
• Be inspirational learning centres offering exceptional education.
• Combine, share and utilise the highest academic standards and levels of expertise across our academies and partners to design and develop an innovative and inspiring curriculum – learning is at the centre of what we do
• Provide a strong duty of care to nurture and support students' wellbeing and self-esteem.
• Maintain the unique nature of all of the schools within the Trust.
• Give Academy Councils the freedoms to focus on the challenge and support for the improvements in teaching, learning and the curriculum.
