English Martyrs' Catholic Primary School

Mission Statement:

As a Roman Catholic school, we create an atmosphere in which children can grow into the fullness of their faith. We develop their understanding of, and respect for, people of all faiths and cultures. We value parents as children’s first teachers. We aim to educate our pupils in every way so that they are friendly, spiritual and caring individuals who enjoy learning and achieve their potential in all areas. We provide a welcoming, safe environment in which children learn to speak and behave properly and to care for and comfort others. We encourage the children to carry these lessons with them into their everyday lives whilst they are at our school and when they move on.

Learning Support Assistant - we are looking to appoint an LSA with SEND experience to join our team of dedicated staff. This position will involve working with pupils with identified SEND needs on a 1:1 or 1:2 basis. The successful applicant will be dedicated and resilient when supporting children who experience significant barriers to learning. They must have excellent communication skills, be self-motivated, reliable and be able to work as part of a team (as well as independently). They should be able to draw on a wide range of strategies to adapt and support learning. Knowledge of a ‘trauma informed’ approach is desirable.
