Job Introduction
Our Federation wish to appoint an enthusiastic teaching assistant to join our friendly and dedicated team. This post will be based at Sutton Bridge Westmere Primary School.
We are committed to working in partnership with parents, to ensure every child achieves their full potential, feels safe and happy at school, and develops a love of learning. Pupils say that, ‘They said that they feel safe and that they know there is always a member of staff they can speak to if they are worried about anything. Leaders prioritise pupils’ well-being’ (Ofsted 2021). We have high expectations of all members of our community and this includes working together to make sure all children have good attendance and arrive on time every day so they are able to fully access our ‘effective curriculum’ (Ofsted 2021). We expect the best from our children and support them to give this. We ‘ensure reading is a priority’ (Ofsted 2021), as we believe reading unlocks many opportunities both academically and socially.
