Teaching Personnel have been contacted by one of its partner schools in the Vale of Glamorgan to support with a number of pupils that have ALN (additional learning needs) the pupils have been highlighted to need extra support throughout all of their lessons and you will be tasked to support on a one-to-one basis rotating through a small group of pupils, ideally this position is looking to start after the School returns from the summer break, however the school would like to meet you and set up a trial day before they break up.
