What skills and experience we're looking for

Hugo Meynell Primary School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Teaching Assistant to provide one to one support to a child within our Early Years Foundation Stage.

If you

  • Are a caring and warm individual who wants to be part of a friendly and motivated team
  • Genuinely enjoy supporting children and believe that every child can achieve
  • Are enthusiastic, have excellent communication skills and believe that learning should be creative and fun

Then we can offer you an opportunity to work in our happy, friendly school.

The person appointed will work with the child to:

  • Develop interaction skills so the child can imitate play actions and take turns.
  • Develop non-verbal communication skills so the child can make requests, show a preference through reaching and pointing and expressing wants and needs.
  • Develop the child’s receptive language skills so they can engage with some classroom routines, understand simple instructions involving a choice, and follow directions containing two key words.
  • Develop listening and attention skills on a one to one and a small group basis to allow the child to complete, and transition between, adult directed activities.
  • Develop literacy skills so the child can imitate sounds, words and phrases and join in with familiar rhymes and songs.
  • Develop numeracy skills so the child can use early maths concepts including matching, categorising, and counting.
  • Develop mark making skills so the child can use a range of resources and materials to further develop their recording and handwriting skills.
  • Assist children in matters of personal needs and their additional needs including first aid and welfare matters
  • Follow guidance from the Speech and Language Therapist and Autism Inclusion Team.
  • Encourage pupils to interact with others and engage in activities led by the teacher.

What the school offers its staff

Hugo Meynell Primary School is a lovely school with 220 pupils. It is located in a semi rural location and set in large extensive grounds. As a former secondary school, the building is larger than an average primary school and boasts excellent facilities.


We are a friendly, enthusiastic and dedicated team of people who are passionate about providing the best learning experience for the children in our care.

Staff are encouraged to take advantage of continuing professional development opportunities relevant to their role or career aspirations.


Our vision statement:

From the moment that each and every child is welcomed into Hugo Meynell for the first time, right up to the day they leave us, we want their primary school days to be both purposeful and memorable. We promise to provide an education and overall experience that is rewarding and enriching, where children are nurtured, enjoy learning and where our Christian values enable them to develop their unique talents and gifts and so, live ”life in all its fullness” (John 10:10)

As a voluntary-controlled church school, at Hugo Meynell, we strive to ensure the best possible learning journey for children in our care; encouraging the development of values and attitudes, skills and knowledge, that will release the potential in each individual, for the benefit of others, in an ever-changing world.

As a school community of children, parents, staff and governors, we aspire that our actions and attitudes underpinned by our school values of being:

  • Honest
  • Respectful
  • Loving and Caring
  • Resilient
  • Fair
  • Forgiving

will ensure that the children live “life in all its fullness”.
