More about the role

In March 2023 Ofsted have stated “Expectations for pupils’ behaviour and attitudes towards learning are high. These expectations are understood and modelled by pupils who arrive on time and engage well in their learning. They show consistent respect towards their peers and staff. If a pupil needs additional support, staff recognise this quickly due to how well they understand pupils’ individual needs. Leaders aim to instil morals for pupils, and kindness and resilience are modelled by all staff routinely. Highly positive relationships underpin pupils’ strong learning experiences”.

As the Teaching Assistant you will be required to provide support to students in and out of the classroom, assist Teachers with a range of educational needs, liaise with parents and external agencies where suitable, support with appropriate interventions such as literacy and numeracy, and to work collaboratively as a team to improve outcomes for our students.
