At Greenvale our ethos is ‘Nurture – Inspire – Succeed’ and our school visions are based around our 6 Core Values which underpin all that we do and add to the success and inclusive nature of our school:
Respect, Readiness, Resourcefulness, Responsibility, Resilience and Reflectiveness
We believe that children need to play, explore, observe, investigate, repeat, copy, problem solve and represent in order to come to terms with themselves, other people and the world around. We are lucky to have a staff of wonderfully inspiring and dedicated teachers and teaching assistants, who not only have high expectations in all areas of the curriculum, but are also supportive of every child's needs.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated experienced Teaching Assistant to join our friendly and supportive team. This is a rewarding opportunity to help make a real difference in the educational journey of our pupils.
