If so, and you can demonstrate that you are passionate about maximising our SEN children’s learning potential, then this role could be for you.
We are looking to appoint an experienced Additional Needs Teaching Assistant to work within our Orchard. This is a provision set up to cater for some of our children with SEN, which is split into two groups (Apples – 9 children from reception to Y2 and Pears – 8 children from Y3 – Y6 ) based on age and level of need, providing a differentiated, small group approach for each child.
