??Gilbert Ward Academy is delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for a Teaching and Learning Assistant to join our team. As a valued member of our team, you will work closely with the class teacher and the leadership team to support the delivery of high-quality teaching and learning for our pupils. You will help them to overcome barriers to learning, develop their social and emotional skills, and achieve their full potential. You will also contribute to the development of a positive and inclusive learning environment that meets the needs of all our pupils.
Opened in September 2023, Gilbert Ward Academy is be a purpose built, brand new, state of the art Academy, catering for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) as their primary area of need. At full capacity, Gilbert Ward Academy provides education to 80 pupils aged 11-16 working between lower key stage two and key stage four.
Many of the pupils who attend Gilbert Ward Academy will have additional special educational needs, such as, autistic spectrum condition (ASC), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and speech and language communication difficulties. Pupils attending Gilbert Ward Academy may have, at some point, not had success or positive experiences in their education elsewhere. As a result – along with other factors – pupils will more than likely be working at a lower-than-expected key stage, relative to their age. Most pupils will be working at lower and upper key stage two and will be transitioning from primary schools.
