This is our community. These are our stories. Come teach and be a part of it.

XP Trust is looking for a passionate, caring, and committed SENCO to join our Crew. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of a Trust where relationships matter, creativity is celebrated, and children learn through beautiful, purposeful work.

Our Design Principles

‘At XP, we build our community through…

  • Activism
  • Leadership 
  • and Equity… 

sharing our stories as we go.’

These design principles are the basis for all our work. We focus on enabling our students to create beautiful work that creates agency and has a positive impact on the world; we encourage leadership in our students by facilitating the ownership of their own learning; and we have an unabated insistence on equity to ensure that we remove any barriers that inhibit student growth and success.

Therefore, at XP we focus relentlessly on high quality work and character growth. As a result, our school culture is value driven. Therefore, we expect our children, staff and parents to be courageous, respectful, committed to craftsmanship and quality, compassionate and to always show integrity. We provide an authentically tough and rewarding education for everyone, and we believe this is best achieved through not segregating our children by any measure, such as social class or academic ability.

We believe a person is judged by their character and the quality of work they produce. Our school focuses continuously on these two crucial areas of development.  Our children express who they are by personalising their work, and are given time to produce beautiful and meaningful work by following a process of multiple drafts and critique, working towards creating products which are indistinguishable from professionals. Every day, our children develop their habits of work and learning by working hard,  getting smart and being kind, and reflecting on our character values of courage, respect, craftsmanship and quality, compassion and integrity.

This is a centrally managed role, line managed by Executive For Belonging & Inclusion. There is an expectation that the successful candidate will work within any Doncaster-based school in the Trust.
