A bit about us:

Oaksey CE Primary School is a small village primary school with a strong team ethos and a caring family atmosphere. Our school vision statement “As individuals we let our ‘light’ shine but we shine brighter together” is at the heart of our curriculum, teaching and learning. Children and staff are encouraged as individuals to reflect on their strengths and talents, and by sharing these and working collectively and collaboratively, we ensure that we are all able to make positive contributions towards the school and community.

We have recently had a successful OFSTED inspection and have been re-accredited with the NACE Challenge Award.  Both these inspections recognised the inclusivity of our setting with both pupils and staff and the successful candidate will be required to uphold our school ethos.

You will:

• be someone with a keen interest in working with children and a commitment to inclusion
• have an understanding of classroom roles and responsibilities and how a teaching assistant supports students in their learning
• be able to engage students and manage behaviour on a one to one or small group basis
