Full training and support will be provided.  Many of our MTA's move on to Teaching Assistant roles within our school team and we fully support this development.

 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  An enhanced DBS is required for this post.
