Classroom Assistant

St Mary’s CE School is a one form entry multi-cultural inner city school with a diverse community. We are the oldest school in Lewisham and think of ourselves as a family.

Safeguarding is at the heart of our school and children feel safe.

In July 2016 Ofsted judged St Mary’s CE to be a ‘Good’ school. Everyone at St Mary’s has worked tirelessly to achieve this and we look forward to achieving even more in the future.

Ofsted said ‘Teaching, learning and assessment are good because teachers make good use of information on how well the pupils are doing to plan future learning.’

The Governors are looking to appoint a Classroom Assistant to join St Mary’s School in September 2018.

This post is for 25 hours a week, term time only (39 weeks a year) on a fixed term contract until the end of the academic year. The contract may be extended beyond this date at the discretion of the school depending on funding.

This fixed term role would be ideal for a recent graduate who wishes to gain some school experience before entering teacher training. For the right person, the school may be able to offer a place on the schools direct scheme from September 2019.

The successful candidate will work alongside pupils in class to support with their individual needs, to enable them to achieve their goals. They will also assist the teacher in the management of pupils and the classroom.
