EPC was rated as ‘Good’ in all five key judgement areas, which include: Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management and Sixth Form provision.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, pupil-centred Teaching Assistant, to join our dedicated staff team.

The successful candidate should hold Level 2 Literacy / Numeracy / ICT or equivalent.

We are excited, as we move forward, to support our young people in removing barriers to learning and celebrating all success, as children in our community ‘Aspire to Be More’ and fulfil their true potential. Our SEND Department at The Ellesmere Port Church of England College is going from strength-to-strength, working within a person-centred and solution-focused framework. 

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual to champion our College’s development, by joining us on our journey and helping to ensure our students receive a world-class education. 

The Ellesmere Port Church of England College is a secondary school with an ethos based on Anglican beliefs where we welcome students from all faiths and abilities. We are a part of the Frank Field Education Trust and work collaboratively with others in our FFET family, allowing our students and staff many opportunities to develop themselves. This is embodied in the FFET vision: ‘Social Justice through Excellence in Education’ and in the College’s vision ‘‘To act justly, to love with mercy and to walk humbly with our God’.

We have a modern, state of the art building, which uses new technologies to support and enrich the learning experience and curriculum. This rich combination ensures that we are able to prepare all our students for the challenges of the future.
