Employer Description:

Berry Hill Primary School has a simple ethos: to be kind, work hard and be brave. We want to make sure that each and every child understands the importance of kindness; the appreciation that working hard is how we reach our heights; and truly knows that being brave is how we aim high, do the right thing and be ourselves. If helping children achieve this excites you, we’d love to hear from you.

We have a tremendous track-record of supporting apprentices through their TA apprenticeship and have enabled 5 teaching assistants to excel through their course and embark upon their careers, many of them here with us, over the past 4 years.

At Berry Hill, no two days are ever the same and we offer a vibrant, busy, but enjoyable environment. We believe that a great school should be built on four important pillars: successful learning; instilling a strong moral compass, wide opportunities to participate and compete at sports and a strong performing arts offering. These things are only possible with amazing staff!
