The school are very skilled at building positive relationships with pupils displaying challenging behaviour and work exceptionally hard to break down barriers to learning and give all pupils the chance to achieve.
The pupils at this school do have very challenging behaviour and so any TAs who apply need to be able to manage verbal and physical aggression. You do not need to have experience of working within a SEMH difficulties (EBD/BESD) school however you do need to have experience of working in a school or setting with challenging children or adults.
The school is located in Wigan, a short drive from the M6. There are also bus stops within walking distance from the school.
