This is a great opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who is looking to start their career in Education and is motivated to inspire learning in young children. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
Quality is always top of our agenda and we pride ourselves on the quality of what we do. We are looking for an apprentice to work in our Reception Year team, building positive relationships with children promoting positive interaction and learning.
