King Henry VIII 3-19 School is a brand new fully integrated all-through school which opened in September 2023. We believe that anyone can learn anything and our unwavering belief in the growth mindset underpins everything we do. We do not believe that some pupils are bright and that others are not. We believe in the limitless capacity for everyone to achieve great things. We believe that what we become and what we achieve comes from great teaching, hard work and fantastic support.We are looking for a positive, dynamic, and resilient Teaching Assistant (Level 3 - EAL) to join our fantastic team. You will lead, design, deliver, and evaluate, academic interventions to support pupils who are new to English, to ensure full inclusion in the life of the school without being impeded by a lack of English. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a brand-new school, in a wonderful and picturesque community, in the shadow of the Sugar Loaf Mountain. The successful applicant will work with pupils across the through-school and mainly with secondary aged pupils. Our pupils make rapid progress and achieve academic excellence in an environment of love and care. Our school is a strong family where expectations are high, values are positive, and children are treasured. Our goal is to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills, and character to achieve top grades at GCSE and A level and to lead successful lives. We provide pupils with a broad, balanced, and diverse curriculum of the highest quality where representation is key. Our brand-new state-of-the art buildings and facilities open in September 2024. Our pedagogical approach is rooted in the science of how children learn. We ask lots of questions, we explain in small steps, we link to prior learning, and we guide first practice. Our pupils think hard about their learning. We read a lot because it has a profound impact on educational outcomes.Our school is a happy place where every child feels a real sense of belonging. Our teachers get to know the pupils as individuals and build meaningful relationships that last. We explicitly teach our pupils to live by positive shared values and to hold these deep in their hearts. Our extra-curricular offer is innovative and extensive. You will recognise the absolute importance of first-class provision in ensuring high quality life chances for all pupils. You will be fully supported by a passionate and dedicated Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team, and will join a vibrant school community. We have a lovely and welcoming family of staff and pupils. We maintain a great work-life balance. You can take advantage of the opportunity to develop your Welsh language skills.
