Some children need a little extra support to access learning. Others need a trusted adult who can help them build confidence, develop positive relationships and feel successful in school.

The school benefits from a strong SEND provision and places great importance on positive relationships, personal development and celebrating every child's achievements.
As a Reception SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play a key role in supporting a young pupil academically, socially and emotionally throughout the school day.
