Teaching and Learning Assistant

Due to increasing pupil numbers into our popular school, the Governing Board of Coton-in-the-Elms C of E Primary School is seeking to appoint an experienced teaching assistant to join our wonderful school. In June 2023, the school had a full OFSTED inspection, and we are proud of our GOOD judgement with OUTSTANDING for Personal Development. We have an excellent staff team and our pupils are a joy to work with. We are looking for someone who can provide interventions and support to our vulnerable pupils and work alongside our SENDCO, to provide pastoral care. The successful candidate will work primarily within the early years classroom but also be part of our Reading Squad who will support the teaching of reading from reception to Year 2. We are a compassionate school who will consider a flexible working pattern for the right candidate.
