Teaching Personnel are currently working alongside a large two from entry primary school in North Manchester to find an experienced Year 6 Teaching Assistant for an Easter start. The role will include preparing small groups of pupils who are not achieving expected progress and going through past papers with the groups in detail to ensure wording of questions is fully understood. The groups will be of a mixed ability so patience and persistence will be required to ensure the lower ability are fully understanding as well as the higher ability being stretched. The ideal candidate will also be expected to provide general support to the class teacher throughout the week with preparation, resources and general help with classroom management required.

The school in question has been graded 'Good' by OFSTED and is said to be an inviting place to work with a friendly and diverse staffing team as well as a strong but approachable Head Teacher.

The reasoning behind this role is to cover a maternity so the ideal candidate will be expected to hit the ground running. They will also be expected to deliver confident and engaging intervention sessions in preparation for the SATs
