This role is ideal for those who genuinely have a passion for helping children gain the skills to become competent mathematicians predominantly within Key Stage 2.
What does the role involve? The main aim of this role is to support our teachers to deliver academic excellence, day in, day out, with professionalism and enthusiasm. This will involve providing a comprehensive support service to the school including:

You will be expected to be well organised and flexible with high expectations of attainment, achievement and behaviour and have a drive to make a difference to the education of all pupils. You will have excellent communication skills and evidence of continued professional development.
There will also be ample opportunities for you to develop further skills through onsite and offsite training for areas such as Mental Health etc
