Teaching Assistant Apprentice

The job:

Work in small groups or provide one-to-one support to pupils with identified special educational needs in lessons across the curriculum in Key Stages 3 and 4. Deliver targeted intervention weekly to identified pupils using the latest resources in our fully equipped Intervention Room. Support pupils in exams by reading and/or scribing. 

A little extra information:

The SEN Department at CCSC is the largest department at the heart of the school and we are all passionate about inclusion and helping pupils to achieve their full potential and lead happy and fulfilled lives.

Our SENCo sets out our strategic approach to identifying and supporting pupils with special education needs (SEN) and our Deputy SENCo and dedicated team of Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) carry out this approach in lessons and interventions. We use the very latest standardised and progress testing to identify educational needs or gaps for every pupil on roll at CCSC.  This data is then combined with our unparalleled personal and social knowledge of the pupils in our care to create bespoke support and interventions for those who need it.

The majority of the support that pupils receive is small group or one-to-one support in the classroom. We ensure that students are supported across the curriculum and that they have every opportunity to access and enjoy lessons whilst making progress alongside their peers. Our department also has the experience and flexibility to support pupils with a range of SEN and disabilities in our fully equipped Intervention Room and our main base in the SEN Room. We keep up to date with the latest research and guidelines around SEN by attending regular training courses and we take every opportunity to share our in-depth knowledge appropriately with wider teaching staff.
