What skills and experience we're looking for
Our OFSTED rated ‘Good’ school is looking for a skilled Learning Support Assistant to work in Year 3, 2 days per week. This post is temporary in the first instance until 31st August 2027, subject to funding.
We would like to hear from you if you:
• are an outstanding practitioner
• have the ability to challenge and support pupils learning
• are able to demonstrate a good use of initiative and responsibility to support pupils’ learning
• have a commitment to active learning
• are able to take on others ideas
• demonstrate good listening and questioning skills
Our curriculum is set up to explore learning through a hands-on approach that requires skilled professionals to have the ability to promote what is being seen as well as knowing the curriculum well enough to make connections with other areas of the curriculum at the same time; i.e. development of grammar through an investigation or the use of speech.
What the school offers its staff
We are proud of our school and all that happens within it. We wish our pupils to achieve greatly and experience learning hands-on and in real contexts. The staff and pupils are dedicated to getting the best out of every experience and through our nurturing and respectful ethos, pupils grow and develop into active and enthusiastic learners.
