At Crownfield Junior, we believe in working as a team for the children that we are responsible for and care for. We believe that our children are at the centre of all we do and we encourage and support them to be the best that they can be. We treat the children as individuals and understand that their needs are unique to them.

We are looking for someone to support a child with needs such as ASD and ADHD. We would like to appoint an enthusiastic, organised person who has experience in supporting students with social and emotional needs, to enable them to fulfil their full potential within our school environment. Previous experience of working with young children, preferably KS2, is essential as is a good standard of Literacy and Numeracy.

Our Ofsted Report in July 2023 stated:

'Pupils at this school are kind, polite and hard-working.  In lessons they listen to their teachers and to each other.’

‘Pupils with SEND are quickly identified and are very well supported to study the same broad curriculum as their classmates. Teachers and leaders work together to identify strategies that best meet these pupils’ needs.’ 

'Safeguarding is prioritised and leaders are tenacious in securing support for the most vulnerable pupils.'

We are lucky to be set in beautiful grounds. Our children are great to work with: polite, enthusiastic, hard working with a sense of fun!  We have a very stable staff who work together for the good of the children – they have a sense of humour too!  We are a four-form entry school.

The LSA would work under the direction of the Senior Management Team and the SENCo. At all times, the LSA will work within a Year Group and plan alongside them, reporting to the Head of Year on an agreed system of supervision and management.
