The children, staff and governors of The Newlands Federation are seeking an exceptional Teaching Assistant to join our Woodlands Team in Clandon Primary School. This is a permanent contract.
Clandon is a very special place. The Woodlands team support our infant children across two classrooms – the Burrow, a busy room where children learn through play-based activities and the Sett, where directed teaching takes place.
Our curriculum is ambitious and holistic, it is delivered through our natural pedagogies of play, the arts, nature, storytelling, dialogue and games. In this way we support the natural development of children, promote their mental health and maintain their natural curiosity and independence.
We are looking for someone:
- with imagination
- who has the ability to use their own initiative
- with a passion for early education
- who relishes a challenge
- with a good sense of humour and the ability to work well in a team.
The wellbeing of all staff at Clandon is a core focus for us. Supporting our staff to maintain their worklife balance in a way that suits their individual needs is a priority for school leaders at Clandon. Staff who feel empowered to fulfil their role to the best of their ability are then more able to create memorable and effective learning opportunities for children.
We can offer:
- The opportunity to work as part of a dedicated and supportive team, in school and across our federation.
- A real commitment to your work life balance and wellbeing.
- A diverse cohort of brilliant children.
- Senior leaders committed to supporting your practice.
As head teacher, I warmly invite you to visit our little school. However, I must warn you that you will fall in love with Clandon; I certainly have. Please call the School Office to book a visit.
At Newlands Federation (Clandon Primary School & Shere Infant School & Nursery) safeguarding is our highest priority; we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and families. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This appointment is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
