Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant 

Permanent, Full Time, Term Time Only 

NJC 8-14 (Actual Salary £17,261 to £19,440)

Required for September 2021

The Farnborough Academy is an exciting place to be.  The academy opened in September 2014 and officially became part of the Spencer Academies Trust in October 2018.  This has enabled the academy to access tailored support to ensure improvement.  We are very proud of our rapid improvement and we are developing an academy that the pupils can be very proud of.

We make no apology for having high expectations of all.  Our standards are built around a simple set of guiding principles referred to as ‘The Farnborough Way.’  These principles are the key to developing positive relationships within our community and between the academy and the wider community in Clifton and Nottingham.

Our staff work collaboratively with students and their parents to develop positive relationships, spark imaginations and encourage and enthuse the young people we educate to be the very best version of themselves.  Whilst there is a strong emphasis on academic achievement, students are given the support and guidance to develop as individuals, and we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities outside the classroom.  Standards have been rising at Farnborough for the past 3 years with rates of exclusion now in line with national averages, having been well above average up until the academic year 2018-19.

We require a creative, inspirational and committed teaching assistant to join our team.
