Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship

The Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprentice will support the class teacher in delivering engaging learning activities across the school day. This includes assisting with lessons in reading, writing, and mathematics, working with individuals or small groups of pupils to reinforce learning and help them develop confidence and understanding. The apprentice may support guided reading, written work, and practical maths activities, as well as help prepare resources and maintain a well-organised learning environment. A key aspect of the role will be supporting pupils with additional needs, helping them to access the curriculum and participate fully in classroom activities. The apprentice will also model positive communication and behaviour, observe pupils’ progress, and help create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment.
