It also enables our existing Teaching Assistants to advance their careers through further qualifications and knowledge” Kelly, Caldecote Community Primary School
“The program was incredibly beneficial, particularly when transitioning into a new sector or taking on responsibilities requiring specialised knowledge” Gordon, School Business Professional Level 4 Apprentice
“Throughout I have had lots of support and frequent meetings with my educator. I have also had 1 to 1 sessions to assist my learning and aid me in reflecting on my practise.
