Job overview
Ernesford Grange Community Academy is a thriving 11-18 school, with fantastic facilities and a happy, committed team of colleagues whose sole aim is to bring the very best out of our students.
We are part of the Sidney Stringer Academy Multi Academy Trust, which consists of five schools led by Sidney Stringer Academy. The schools are Radford Primary Academy, Ernesford Grange Community Academy, Riverbank Academy (Special School), Sidney Stringer Academy, and Sidney Stringer Primary Free School.
Our vision is to achieve excellence for all with a mission to work together to inspire a learning culture of high expectations with no excuses, where every member of our school community can be proud to belong to Ernesford Grange Community Academy and all students will achieve outcomes which will enable them to succeed in modern society
Teaching and Learning are at the heart of everything we do alongside the belief that every child can achieve no matter the barriers. We have a very firm no excuses culture and have the highest expectations of our young people and our staff. Ernesford is a very collaborative, supportive, and inclusive school and it is our wonderful staff who drive the culture of belief in the young people and what they can achieve. Staff CPD is a key component of our continued improvement in high-quality teaching and learning and we invest heavily in this aspect of school life.
You will be part of a large, motivated, and supportive learning support team and will work closely with members of this team as well as with teachers in departments.
This would be a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to consider a career in teaching. Many of our Learning Support Assistants in recent years have gone on to do a PGCE or School Centered Initial Teacher Training course and have found their experience as a Learning Support Assistant invaluable.
You will be expected to work independently with small groups and plan and prepare for this. You will need to have patience as well as good behavior management skills, or the ability to develop them. You will also need a passion for working with young people and supporting those with additional barriers to their learning.
We strive to ensure that all students have equal access to a broad and balanced curriculum and our Learning Support Assistants are integral to this.
