About Us

Kibworth Mead Academy, located in the pretty Leicestershire village of Kibworth Beauchamp, is one of six secondary schools in The Mead Educational Trust (TMET) and since joining TMET real improvements have been seen in our school, something reflected in our recent Good Ofsted inspection.

TMET is a growing partnership of primary and secondary schools situated in the East Midlands, which provides its schools access to high quality professional development and outstanding educational networks, such as Rushey Mead, Brook Mead and Castle Mead Academies.

Our aim at Kibworth Mead is that all students receive the opportunities to be successful, confident, and responsible young people equipped with academic qualifications as well as the personal and social skills to enable them to make a positive difference to their community and the wider world. To achieve this, we have three core values which underpin all aspects of our school:

1. Work Hard – We promote resilience, positivity, and determination so our students learn that success needs hard work, effort and they develop the strength to persevere.

2. Be Kind– We aim to develop respectful, tolerant students who are kind to everyone.

3. Be Proud – We aim to develop a sense of pride in our students. A pride in their achievements, conduct and most importantly themselves.

As well as developing these values in our students, we aim to provide an environment whereby all our staff can flourish by supporting both their professional development and well-being, something highlighted in our recent inspection when inspectors commented ‘ Staff are proud and motivated to work at this school and feel that their well-being and workload are well considered’.

The Role

Due to increasing number of students at Kibworth Mead Academy, we are seeking an organised and detail-focused SEN Administrator to support the school’s SEN provision. Working closely with both the SENCo and Assistant SENDCo, you will provide administrative support, maintain accurate records, coordinate meetings, and liaise with staff, parents, and external agencies.

Closing Date: 9am Monday 15th June

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found.
