Immediate Start

Sir Herbert Leon Academy is an 11-19 Mixed Comprehensive in Bletchley, South Milton Keynes. Our academy has 587 learners and employs around 100 dedicated teachers and support staff. The academy's senior leadership team places high priority on colleagues' mental health and work/life balance and has established systems to allow staff to flourish. There is a centralised behaviour system, a clear line management structure and opportunities for personal and professional development. As Sir Herbert Leon is a relatively small secondary school, new staff can foster strong relationships with both colleagues and students very swiftly, which enables them to embed within their new team quickly and know how best to teach students, according to their individual needs. The students are the beating heart of the school; it is a privilege to teach them as we continue on our journey to raise aspirations and outcomes for the local community.

Our core purpose is to enable all young people to have the opportunities to make exceptional progress both academically and in their lives outside of the classroom so that they are able to live fulfilling and successful lives.

We are looking for a Teaching Assistant to join our team of committed staff who are dedicated to providing the best possible opportunities to our students. You will promote the inclusion of all students. In liaison with the class teacher, you will work with students to target identified learning needs. You will also provide practical support in the classroom to students who have recognised learning needs, supporting them to achieve their potential. In addition, you will work with subject teachers to ensure lesson materials are used effectively in order for students to make the expected progress towards their target levels.
