SEND TA in nursery job summary

Many of our pupils join us significantly below age-related expectations, often facing complex barriers to learning and wellbeing. The progress they make is the result of a whole-school commitment to high-quality teaching, learning, and assessment, supported by a dedicated team of professionals. At the heart of this is our SEND Teaching Assistants, whose role is absolutely pivotal. They work in close partnership with teachers, leaders, and our wellbeing team to deliver targeted interventions, adapt learning experiences, and provide emotional and social support that enables every child to thrive. SEND TAs are champions for inclusion, ensuring that pupils with additional needs feel valued, understood, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
