Advert

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children? Do you want to be part of a close-knit team in a welcoming village community? We are looking for a dedicated and nurturing Teaching Assistant to join our small but vibrant school, where every child is known, valued, and supported to succeed. 

At Cobham Primary School, Ofsted recently described our provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) as a significant strength of the school. Staff work closely with external specialists, such as health professionals, to put the best provision into place. Communication between staff is highly effective so that everyone knows their role in supporting pupils with SEND. Staff adapt learning and resources for pupils with SEND superbly, so that they achieve their best. Pupils who require more significant emotional support benefit from an individually tailored programme of counselling.

We are seeking a Teaching Assistant to work closely with our SENCo to support the wellbeing, progress and attainment of a young person with SEND. The role is likely to be 50% classroom based and 50% support outside of class through an individually tailored curriculum.

Information about the school

Cobham Primary School is an Outstanding primary school with a strong sense of belonging to a positive school culture, with audacious dreams of excellence for our children and our community. Despite being a small, single-form village primary, we have big aspirations and hope our children do, too - we are always courageous about school improvement and encourage our children to be courageous in their learning, too. We have positive relationships with our local community as well as the network of organisations that we work with to achieve our goals - we aim to be a responsible part of that community and to look after our school and its people. Cobham is proud to nurture its staff as well as its children and our team benefit from a range of support, from excellent professional development, networking, visits to others schools to flexibility and access to all of KCC’s pensions and benefits.
