Dear Hiring Manager,
The Assistant Headteacher – Head of Inclusion (SENCO) role at your East London school is precisely the leadership opportunity I have been working towards.

My background in SENCO leadership includes coordinating a team of 16 LSAs and 3 HLTAs, managing caseloads of over 90 students with EHC Plans, and developing data-driven monitoring systems that demonstrably improved progress outcomes for students with additional needs. I have worked closely with parents, external agencies, and senior leaders to set challenging targets and build transparent improvement plans whose impact can be evidenced through termly review data.
