Ewell Grove champions the right of children to have access to high quality education in their local community. The overarching aim of Ewell Grove is to be, and always remain, a school of excellence both in academic and social terms. We regard our establishment as a community that provides both context and opportunities for children to develop an understanding of cohesion, tolerance and respect. We develop high aspirations for our pupils and in return families have exacting expectations of us.
We recognise the significance of inclusion and diversity within educational settings and the imperative to create and celebrate success for everyone. Through our school ethos and values, policies and practices we aim to eradicate discrimination and barriers to learning whilst improving participation and achievement for all.
As children move through our school, from their earliest formative years, we build upon the experiences they have already gained. With our school foundations firmly rooted in Early Years principles we believe that the curriculum we offer must nurture, preserve and cherish the uniqueness of childhood.
We are looking to appoint a class teaching assistant who has a passion for creating lifelong learners, is committed to inclusion and equality and has high expectations of themselves and every child.
