The Role

The school are looking for multiple teaching assistants to work across both KS1 and KS2.

In these sessions you will cover topics learned in class the previous week to support those children who had gaps in their learning. This is an excellent role for a graduate who is looking to go in to a career as a primary teacher as you will gain direct teaching experience alongside whole class support.

The Academy
