As a Higher‑Level Teaching Assistant your role will involve you assisting with general support throughout the school. You will be taking on 1:1 sessions and small groups, as well as supporting whole classes, and participating in educational trips off site. You may be asked to lead and/or plan without notice for a class in the teacher’s absence. In general, you will be supporting SEN pupils through the academic, social and emotional elements of school life. You will be expected to promote and secure high standards of teaching and learning, whilst supporting pupil achievement and progression. You will need to actively contribute to SGS Pegasus School vision, aims and objectives.
This role involves working very closely with Special Educational Needs students, individually and in groups, to enable them to take the fullest advantage of all that takes place at Pegasus School. You will take a proactive role in ensuring that students have full access to the curriculum, working closely with teachers and other supporting professionals to identify and meet student needs. You will build positive relationships with young people so that alongside their academic development, they are well‑prepared for life beyond Pegasus School. You will help students work well as part of a team, with mutual respect; to understand their own rights and work for the rights of others, and to build the skills necessary for independent study. You should be prepared and have some knowledge of working with children from all age ranges from 4‑19. All HLTAs at Pegasus may be asked to support with intimate care.
This particular role is within our Connect All‑Through pathway, which is planned around an informal curriculum focusing on playing, exploring and life skills. The class is a KS3/4 group, but is generally working at a lower KS1 level.
