The successful candidate will also act as a line manager to our committed and skilled team of teaching assistants and be able to provide some cover for teachers.

The school 

Aston Tower is a popular two-form entry multi-cultural school that serves a community which really values and supports our work. We have friendly, responsive and enthusiastic children whose attitudes to learning were described as ‘excellent’ by Ofsted along with their ‘outstanding’ behaviour. Our large staff team are skilled, caring and committed; governors are keen to be involved and are highly supportive. The school is very well resourced. Our well-kept modern premises are set in spacious grounds which lend themselves to being further developed to promote our pupils’ learning.  

This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent spoken English is an essential requirement for the role.

Please telephone or email the school for further details and an application pack. The application pack is also available on our website.
