Our wonderful school is excited to be looking for new team members to join us in our Key Stage 1 team at Warren Wood Primary School.



Our school motto is 'Care, Courtesy and Consideration' and we pride ourselves on delivering this to all of our pupils through our thoughts, actions and deeds. We require someone who upholds these values of our school and is committed to the school vision and ethos of 'Our Seven Steps to Being a Happy Learner'.

Your role will be to support children across Key Stage 1 both in the classroom, in small groups to access the broad and balanced curriculum on offer and in some cases to support pupils with one to one learning. You should have a good understanding of 'adaptive teaching' and the vital role played by additional adults to facilitate this. You will have outstanding communication skills; be flexible and effective in the way you work with children; have excellent interpersonal skills, including a natural empathy with children, including those with additional needs and a knowledge of emotional regulation; and be resilient and enthusiastic in your approach to children's learning.

You will also need to be able to communicate clearly with other professionals across the school, including providing purposeful feedback on children's learning and wellbeing.



Our school is a happy place to work and is inclusive and nurturing to pupils, families and staff. We promote family values and prepare children with skills for life through the delivery of a creative curriculum. We will offer you a warm welcome, support and training to enable you to become part of the team. You will also achieve immense job satisfaction as you make a significant difference to the educational development of children within our Warren Wood family.



Previous experience of working with KS1 pupils is essential and if candidates have the experience of covering a class for PPA there will be an opportunity to do this on occasions at a higher pay grade.

A relevant Level 2/3 qualification in Childcare, Education or that of a TA would be advantageous but is not essential.



Completed application forms should be returned to the Headteacher at the school address above or via email to: admin@warrenwood.stockport.sch.uk NO LATER THAN Friday 17 October 2025.



This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.



The successful applicant's appointment will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment clearances including a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
