Teaching Assistant

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, calm, well organised teaching assistant to be part of our committed and hardworking team. Ideally you will need to have recent experience of working with children in a primary school environment. You will be knowledgeable and confident at supporting children's learning so that a team approach ensures good and better progress for our learners.

We are a friendly, professional team who value the importance of getting on well together so that our school community lives and learns well in a positive, mutually respectful way.

In order for our children to do the best they can we work together to create a caring, nurturing environment where it is safe for children to make marvellous mistakes and encourage an understanding that there is learning in every situation. Our children are well behaved and love learning.

Our school vision and values underpin everything that we do and we love to celebrate seeing our school values in action.
