St Bede’s school has a strong track record of ensuring the academic and pastoral development of all individuals. Its work with students with special educational needs has gone from strength to strength in recent years.

The SENDCo (specialist exam access arrangement assessor) manages the SEND support team. In addition, there are five senior SEND Support Assistants (SSAs), a large number of SSAs and an administrative assistant who leads on all exam access arrangements. Senior SSAs are responsible for overseeing interventions for different groups of students.

The SSAs provide in-class support as well as 1:1 support to SEND students. The school believes that it is everyone’s responsibility to identify, plan and make provisions to meet the needs of students with special educational needs. The SEND support team strives to support all staff in this work, by providing guidance, working to support identified students in the main curriculum, assessing students and by making specialist plans.

St Bede’s supports the professional development of its staff and takes staff wellbeing very seriously.

Full time SEND support staff are employed to work 36 hours per week for the 39 term-time weeks of the academic year (including INSET days.) Normal working hours are Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 16:10 or 08:00 - 15:40 with a half hour unpaid lunch break. Annual salary reflects the contractual hours and weeks per year and is calculated using a Surrey Pay formula which includes payment in respect of statutory annual leave allowances. Salary is paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.

There is no entitlement to take leave during term time. All holidays must be taken during school breaks.
