Pupils are encouraged to respect themselves and others as they strive for excellence in all that they do both academically and personally.
As a Special Needs Teaching Assistant, you will support pupils to access learning activities, ensuring they are appropriately challenged and able to meet their expected levels of progress. You will also contribute to the ethos of the school and will offer pastoral support to pupils across all key stages.
