Thank you for your interest in the post of Senior HLTA.
About our Trust
We are a Trust of nine schools, all based in South-East London. Whilst each of our schools maintains its individuality, we share a common mission: to ensure that every single child and young person in our care is successful at school so that they can flourish and be successful in their lives.
Our mission is simple – we want pupils to ‘ Become their best at Borough’in all aspects of their lives. We have the highest aspirations for each young person we work with and strive to help them to fulfil their potential.
Our Academy values, which were created by our young people, speak to that. We expect our learners to become excellent ambassadors for their community, by working hard to achieve their aspirations, whilst becoming kind and resilient citizens.
Our location in the centre of the capital allows us to provide a unique take on the curriculum, making the most of partnerships with world leading organisations which enrich and enhance our offer. In all areas of the curriculum, we aim to ignite a spark which enables our young people to become scholars of their chosen subject disciplines.

· Maintaining an accurate provision map for the department using Edukey Provision Maps.
Expanding how we use the software to track progress and financial efficiency as well as
ensuring that records are up to date
· Ensuring that students with an EHCP are reviewing the provision they are entitled to and
tracking progress · Reviewing student assessment reports (eg. SALT, CAMHS etc) and ensuring that students are receiving the support they are entitled to within the capacity of the school
· Oversight of the work of specialists (internal and external) including monitoring their case load, tracking progress and reviewing impact
