EYFS General Teaching and Higher Level Teaching Assistant (GTA/ HLTA) job summary
This post is being re-advertised due to unforeseen circumstances and we would encourage anyone interested to apply, as it is an exciting opportunity to join a great team and work as a GTA and HLTA.
Wistow Parochial C of E Primary School and its governing body are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and inspirational GTA, who will be working in our Selby class, with our Reception and Year 1 pupils. Some of the time will be supporting SEN pupils in the cohort and other times working with all pupils. This Year Rec/1 post would suit someone who is passionate and committed to helping children succeed and who is either at the beginning of their career in education or already an experienced GTA.
We are a small, rural village primary school, just outside Selby and currently have 109 children on roll. We are a faith school, who promote our school’s core values of: respect, resilience, honesty and forgiveness. Our school is continually evolving and therefore needs a new dynamic and enthusiastic team member to join us at this exciting time.
At Wistow, we all work together as a team to support, encourage each other and make sure that everyone achieves their full potential and that we all ’Be the best that we can be!’ We were judged by Ofsted as ‘Good’ in December 2019, with ‘Outstanding’ in Personal Development and we were also judged ‘Outstanding’ in our last church school SIAMS inspection in June 2017.

Also, we are potentially looking for someone who has the necessary HLTA qualifications, so that our other KS1 class (Fountains Class) can be covered for one full day a week, term time only.
This is an exciting opportunity for you to join our energetic, committed and passionate team, where we strive to achieve excellence in all we do.
We are looking for:
• A good or outstanding practitioner

We are committed to providing the very best possible care and education for all our children and our staff and governors are dedicated to ensuring each child experiences high quality teaching and learning, which nurtures and supports their individual interests and talents.
We strive to provide our children with a vibrant, engaging curriculum which motivates and inspires them to become enthusiastic, lifelong learners. We aim to provide the children with a rich, broad curriculum which embraces opportunities for creativity, the arts and sport. We also enjoy excellent links with our local community and we participate in events and projects within the local area.
At Wistow, everyone matters. The school’s values of honesty, resilience, forgiveness and respect are closely linked to Christian teaching and are at the heart of the life of the school.

We believe strongly that education is a partnership between children, staff, governors and parents. If we work together, the most important aspect of the partnership will benefit – the pupils. Learning is a journey and it is one that we hope we can take together and make every child and ourselves ‘the best that we can be’.
As a school we are committed to continual improvement and are dedicated to ensuring your child’s time with us will be happy, enjoyable and inspiring. If you wish to know more, telephone/email for further details or come and visit the school, where we will be more than happy to show you around.
