This is an exciting time to join a significantly improving school with a ‘culture where hard work is expected’, and one in which the majority of parents say their child is ‘flourishing at this school’ (Ofsted, 2023). As a result of increasing student numbers, and our Year 7 cohort for September 2024 being significantly oversubscribed, we are looking to expand our staff team at Court Fields School.

As a Learning Support Assistant, you will be working with SEN students, including those with an EHCP, helping them to progress, achieve their targets and participate in the wider life of the school.

We are seeking individuals with an enthusiastic approach to learning, who believe they can make a difference to children who have additional needs. Our ideal candidate will be able to inspire those around them to be ambitious and use their full potential.

What you can expect from us:

• Fabulous students who are motivated and interested, keen to learn and enthusiastic

• A trusting partnership with supportive parents

• An outstanding ethos where students achieve, have a strong sense of belonging and participate in learning, enrichment and the community

• A comprehensive induction process, tailored to your role and previous experience

• A structured programme of targeted, whole school or bespoke professional development, including leadership development

• A highquality curriculum, developed across our Trust, with a commitment to a programme of school improvement

• A range of development opportunities for career progression within the Trust

• Opportunities to work with and in other schools

• Friendship, support and interaction with a vibrant and caring staff team with a commitment to improving children’s lives

• Strong leadership, a culture of high expectation and clarity of strategic school development

• The change to be a part of a sustainable project, with a focus on high quality education, ambition for every child and supportive staff.

You will be joining an ambition, committed and hardworking team of staff who offer amazing support, both in an academic and pastoral sense. They are relentless in their drive to make a genuine difference to and lasting impact on our young people, families and the wider community. Court Fields has been rated as a ‘Good’ school at a recent Ofsted inspection where ‘staff morale is high’ and ‘pupils enjoy good relationships with staff’.
