Graduate Teaching Assistant job summary
Ark St Alban’s Academy
Graduate Teaching Assistant
Ark St Alban’s
Academy is seeking talented and ambitious graduates to join our team for the
remainder of this academic year.
In this role,
you will join a school which consistently achieves transformational outcomes
for children. You will have the opportunity to provide academic and pastoral
support to pupils who are overcoming incredible adversity to achieve
exceptional results. You will be working alongside colleagues who are experts
in their field and you will be supported in gaining the experience needed to
thrive on a schools-based teacher training route in the future.
Our
school consistently secures excellent outcomes for our pupils.
Ark
St Alban’s Academy is a special place. We strive to address social and
educational disadvantage by providing an academically rigorous education to
every child.
70%
of our pupils are drawn from households ranking in the top decile for income
deprivation affecting children and our school has their eight highest
percentage of pupils eligible for the Pupil Premium in the country. Despite
this, the progress pupils make at Ark St Alban’s Academy consistently places
our school in the top 10% of schools nationally. In this role, you will have
the opportunity to learn first-hand what it takes to provide a transformational
education for young people.
Our
graduate teaching assistants can make an immediate impact on the life chances
of our young people.
This year, we are celebrating our first ever pupil
securing a place at Cambridge. This sits alongside consistent successes in
recent years in supporting multiple pupils in securing places on competitive
courses such as medicine, dentistry and law. The number of pupils gaining
places at Russell Group universities and prestigious apprenticeship providers
also continues to grow.
However, we know that none of this success is
possible if pupils are not taught to read, write and to do maths further down
the school, and if pupils are not provided with the highly effective pastoral
support and early help that they need. This is where graduate teaching assistants
can have an immediate impact.
Our young people need your support now more than
ever, and as a Graduate Teaching Assistant you’ll be a pillar of strength to
not only the pupils, but to the school and community. You will be a role model
of what is possible. In this incredibly rewarding role you’ll be supporting
pupils, parents, and teachers to establish a learning environment in which
children are able to flourish and fulfil their potential.
