Teaching Assistants are wonderful additions to the education sector. The role entails supporting students throughout their time at school to achieve their full potential. You will assist the class Teacher provide effective differentiation based on the needs of the children and support students within the community on excursions. Day to day you would attend any lessons with specific students providing effective support whilst ensuring all students can access the curriculum.

Students who require support have special educational needs. These needs can include Autism, Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, Moderate Learning Difficulties, Downs Syndrome, Specific Learning Difficulties and Speech, Language and Communication needs.
