The Thomas Aveling School is an amazing school to work in with supportive and visible leaders and a fantastic team spirit – we are a happy school! 

A rewarding opportunity has arisen for a pro-active, organised and self-motivated applicant to provide teaching and learning support to students. 

“Staff have confidence in their leaders. They feel their workload is manageable through sharing resources and working cooperatively. They are proud to be a member of staff” Ofsted, Sept 22.

You will meet well-behaved and motivated children who enjoy learning and make great progress.  We are a popular and massively over-subscribed school, being first choice for many families. 

“Pupils and students say that they are happy, and they feel safe. They say that staff care about them and help them to do their best” -Ofsted, Sept 22
