Teaching Assistants play a vital role in the life of St. Peter’s.

In the classroom they act as the teacher’s eyes and ears, supporting groups and individuals, helping keep a positive working atmosphere and making sure every child is ready to learn. In the playground they lead games, keep things safe and calm and give first aid when things go wrong. Where ever they are, they comfort children, encourage children, settle conflicts, repair friendships and just bring out the best in all our children.

Are you the person we need to join our Teaching Assistant team?

We offer a lovely working atmosphere, fantastic children and great colleagues - come visit us and see.

All our Teaching Assistants work 18.75 hours a week, Monday to Friday, all hours within the school day. Opportunities to run an After School Club if desired. This position is offered initially as a one year contract.

We offer support and regular training to all our TAs.

Please see the attached job description and if you believe you are the person for this role, we look forward to hearing from you!

Information about the school

Our Ofsted inspection in May 2023 judged St Peters to be an outstanding school in all areas and for the last four years we have been amongst the highest achieving schools in the local area. We pride ourselves on our strengths in art, music, sport and drama where our specialist teachers and performance spaces enable children to really excel.

Although the school was established in 1694 our present building is much newer, having been opened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1998. We have good links with our local secondary schools. The majority of our children join us in Year 3 from Callis Grange Infants with whom we have a linked admissions policy but also have children from other schools joining us.

We have a warm and caring environment where all children, parents and staff work together as part of a positive learning culture, which enables our children to grow and learn in an atmosphere of true care and respect and develop into young people of whom we can be genuinely proud. This is through the combination of high quality teaching and pastoral care, rooted in our strong Christian values. These values and traditions help children to gain an understanding of society today and help us to prepare them well for life in modern Britain.

Our ‘all round’ curriculum means St Peter’s children flourish academically, artistically, musically, dramatically and on the sports field. We work hard to help each and every child to fulfil their potential as we believe that there is success in every child.

St. Peter's Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy, available on our website.
