Thank you for your interest in this role. This is an exciting opportunity to join our Maths department as a learning mentor and work under the direct instruction of teaching/senior staff in order to support students’ learning.

We were proud to achieve a ‘Good’ outcome in all categories during an Ofsted Inspection in October 2023 in which Ofsted commented the following

‘The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with SEND. It has designed a curriculum that sets out high academic expectations’

‘Teachers have strong subject knowledge. This is reflected in their high-quality explanations of subject content’

‘Pupils are respectful and polite. They understand the school’s expectations in terms of conduct and behaviour’

‘Staff know their pupils well, and they build positive relationships with them’

The school is an increasingly popular choice within the local community and we are delighted to advertise this role due to an expansion within the school and a larger intake of students in September 2024.

The post:

This is a non-teaching post which will give the successful candidate an excellent opportunity to work closely with young people and supporting them in their school life, helping them to access a varied and exciting curriculum.

You will also work in subject classes to ensure students get the individual or small group input that they need as part of the lesson planning by the teacher

You will be expected to work effectively with both teaching and support staff at all levels as well as with parents/carers, students and external agencies.
