Teaching Assistant job summary
The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Department is a dynamic team of twelve staff, who work collaboratively to support students identified with SEND at Queen’s Park High School.
The Department is led by an experienced SENDCO alongside two SEND Managers, who together have a wealth of experience in the many aspects of delivering an excellent SEND Provision. From Easter we wish to further increase our School SEND offer to include a third SEND Manager, whose specific role will be to manage the provision for students experiencing Social Emotional Mental Health Difficulties.
As a department and in line with the SEND Code of Practice we put our emphasis on improving outcomes for students, setting high aspirations and expectations. We work with our School Curriculum Team Leaders to ensure that all students are offered a broad and balanced curriculum to make progress so that they can achieve their best, can become confident individuals living fulfilling lives and can make a successful transition into adulthood, whether into employment, further or higher education or training.
The Team support students in the classroom for lessons, as well as in Intervention Sessions and during all unstructured times of day (break time and lunch time). We meet on a daily basis before school, as well as for a weekly team meeting to ensure full departmental communication takes place. Opportunities for training and development are offered to Team Members.
