We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Teaching Assistant to work under the guidance of the SENDCo to support the learning of pupils with SEND.

Our Vision:

‘‘Be the best you can." This is what we ask of our pupils and our staff.

We are committed to providing the very best educational experience for our young people and invite applicants who share this commitment and want to be a part of our success story.

The Academy is on a journey from Good to Great and this has been confirmed by Ofsted in May 2022;

“leaders and governors remain focused on doing the right things to improve the school further. They have developed an ambitious and clear long-term plan that outlines how they will reach their vision”.
