Teaching Assistant job summary

Glenleigh Park is a school that can offer exceptional professional development opportunities, high levels of support and the chance to make a real difference to pupils’ outcomes.

 

This is an exciting opportunity to join Glenleigh Park Academy in a role that will involve supporting children in learning and achieving their best. 

 

We are looking for someone:

·       with the energy and passion to motivate, challenge and support children to be their very best

·       who thrives as part of a team and is committed to continuing school improvement

·       that has high expectations of themselves and others

·       who enjoys learning and wants to develop their skills and expertise further

 

We work closely with other schools in our Trust and there are many opportunities to share ideas and learn from each other. Glenleigh Park is a fun, exciting and supportive place to work. We set ourselves ambitious targets and know these can be achieved by working together.

 

In our recent Ofsted inspection (December 2023) we were praised for our welcoming and inclusive community ethos. That is reflected in the warm, trusting relationships between staff, pupils and parents. The report said that “staff deeply care about pupils’ well-being and provide bespoke support to enable them to thrive.

 

Over the past few years, we have redesigned our curriculum, so it ensures that our teaching actively engages pupils to deepen and embed key concepts and skills as well as the transfer of knowledge across the curriculum. Also, we believe that every pupil can be a reader.

  

We work in partnership with Hackney Learning Trust to deliver Daily Supported Reader and Destination Reader and have invested in Reading Recovery as an integral part of our approach to reading; ensuring that no pupil leaves Glenleigh Park unable to read and write and all pupils enjoy reading for pleasure. In addition, we teach phonics from nursery using the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc programme. We have adopted a mastery approach to the teaching of mathematics and have a trained specialist teacher leading maths.

 

Glenleigh Park Primary Academy and Nursery is part of Aurora Academies Trust, an organisation that is committed to nurturing and developing talent. Our seven schools spanning nursery, primary and secondary provision are all judged to be good or better by Ofsted.

As part of our employment package our staff have access to the Aurora Advantage scheme which provides many benefits including an On Demand GP, access to an Employee Wellbeing and Assistance scheme, high street discounts and a Cycle to Work scheme.

The salary shown reflects an interim 2024/2025 pay award, pending completion of the negotiations between the National Employers and the Trade Unions. The difference between this and what is agreed as the final pay award will be paid as a lump sum back pay, when announced by the government and the Trade Unions.
