Description

We are looking for a teaching assistant apprentice to support the teacher to enable every child to learn and develop within the school setting.

You will support the children with their learning, focusing particularly on their reading, writing and maths.


We are at the heart of our community of beautiful Wealden villages of Goudhurst and Kilndown in Kent and have seven classes of 30 children aged 4-11 years.

Our school is a caring, happy place and we know this comes from our Christian values as a Church of England school which underpin everything we do.

We are an inclusive school and welcome children of all abilities, backgrounds and faiths.

We work hard to build a partnership with all our parents and keep in mind the child's well-being and progress in their education in everything we do.

Our school was judged by OFSTED to be "Outstanding" in all areas of the inspection framework and we are very proud of this achievement.

In February 2016 we also became a National Support School and we are committed to helping local schools and colleagues bring about rapid school improvement.
