Advert

Churchill Primary is seeking an inspiring and enthusiastic person to join our school at this very exciting time. Pre-Covid, the school was recognised by Ofsted at having moved from its historical judgement of ‘Requires Improvement’ to one of ‘Good’. We are now looking to build on this and drive the school forwards to ensure outstanding provision for all our children.

We are looking for an experienced Teaching Assistant with commitment, energy and drive to join our team and work closely with staff to provide positive learning experiences for all our pupils. The role is initially in Years 3 and 4, but candidates should be competent working with all age groups throughout the primary phase, and be confident supporting teaching and learning in English and Maths up to a lower secondary level.

The post is for Monday to Friday, 8.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.

We expect the successful candidate to:

• Be able to support in the delivery of high-quality learning experiences for all pupils;

• Have high expectations of learning and behaviour and inspire and motivate our children;

• Be supportive, nurturing and understanding with high expectations;

• Demonstrate good communication skills both orally and in writing;

• Work well as part of a team.

The role also includes providing pupil supervision cover for some break and lunch duties as well as providing first aid (training can be provided).

Visits to the school are encouraged and should be arranged through the school office.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children, and expects our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS and taking up references from pervious posts support this process.

 

Information about the school

We are proud of our fabulous one-form entry primary school, which serves the community of Westerham, a charming market town in Kent. The school, which is situated in amazing grounds, attained Ofsted "Good" in Jan 2020, and is continuing to grow from strength to strength.

We provide a safe and caring environment for our children where they can thrive, whilst promoting Christian and British values. Naturally the children are considered to be our greatest asset, which ensures they are at the heart of our strategic and operational decision making. The school fosters an ethos where our pupils are keen to learn, well-behaved and a joy to teach. We encourage their development into caring and socially minded individuals, who value diversity and inclusion and who actively support the local community and beyond with initiatives; supporting the local food bank and a variety of local charities are just two examples.

Our collective behaviours, teaching and decision-making are underpinned by our core values; Respect, Excellence, Determination, Courage, Creativity and Teamwork; all of which ensure a well-founded and consistent approach in everything we do.

We have strong links with St Mary’s Church Westerham and participate in the many activities aligned with the religious calendar, which draws us closer to the community as a whole. A team from the church regularly lead our worship, providing guidance to ensure that Christian worship and distinctiveness are an integral part of the school.

The school has a breakfast club and after school club which can be used by staff.
