Our Teaching Assistants play a vital role in supporting teaching and learning, helping pupils to engage, progress and thrive both academically and socially. Working as part of a dedicated team, you will provide high-quality support to pupils, helping to create a positive, inclusive and nurturing learning environment for all.
As part of our Wraparound Care provision, you will also help to set up and support the smooth running of our after-school club, ensuring pupils enjoy a range of engaging activities in a safe, relaxed and welcoming environment at the end of the school day.

Our school ethos is reflected in our motto, ‘Friendship and Respect. Learn for Life’. This complements our Trust Core Shared Values and our Trust’s Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’. Together, these things set out how we learn and live at Trevisker, ensuring that our children leave our school ready for the next phase of their education, and equipped with the skills for life beyond school.
