The staff is dedicated, and the school is committed to offering the highest standards of education, creating a fun and enriching environment for both students and staff alike.
As an EYFS Teaching Assistant, you will play a key role in supporting the early years curriculum and helping children develop the essential skills they need for later learning.

* Assist with planning and preparing activities tailored to meet the developmental needs of the children
* Promote positive behaviour and support students' social and emotional development
