Higher Level Teaching Assistant job summary

As our vision states, everything we do as a school is to achieve our vision of children fulfilling their potential in the heart of the community while ensuring they are safe, happy, and learning, with our school values understood and lived by the entire school community families. To achieve this, there are three principles central to the continual refinement of the Ravenstone offer and representing what makes us unique:

Nurturing Character and Community: we are a values-driven school where kindness, respect and responsibility are lived every day. Families are true partners in our journey, and children have countless opportunities to lead, take part in clubs and hobbies, and grow into confident, compassionate young people.

Inspiring Learning and Academic Excellence: our rigorous, research-led curriculum is taught by expert teachers who never stop learning themselves. Children are challenged, supported and inspired to achieve highly, while developing the skills and curiosity they’ll need for secondary school and beyond.

Crafting Spaces That Spark Curiosity and Belonging: from our sector-leading nursery with its dedicated Forest School, to our well-equipped classrooms and expansive outdoor learning spaces, Ravenstone offers an environment where children feel safe, inspired and excited to learn.

Every child that steps through the gates of Ravenstone is welcomed into an aspirational, inclusive vibrant and nurturing school community in which they learn, thrive and flourish. Treated with the care and dedication they deserve, we focus on allowing children to flourish as confident individuals while building an understanding of the world around them and supporting them to reach their academic potential. We truly hold the children at the centre of every action, thought and decision made. As children’s first educators, we work closely with our families and firmly believe that a successful education is a joint effort between home and school.

You are warmly welcome to book a school tour to see all of this in action for yourself.
