Thank you for your interest in the role of Teaching Assistant.

Waterton Academy Trust is looking to appoint an inspirational and ambitious Teaching Assistant to West End Academy, a one-form entry primary school, located in Hemsworth.

West End Academy is a smaller than average primary school and joined Waterton Academy Trust in July 2018. The Trust consists of 16 primary phase schools, 4 Assessment Resource Provisions and 4 pre-schools in the Wakefield and Barnsley area. As part of this Trust both staff and children enjoy varied opportunities for collaboration in all areas of the curriculum.

The school is committed to providing a stimulating, creative environment so that all children enjoy learning, make outstanding progress and reach their potential. By offering a rich and diverse curriculum, the academy is constantly striving to provide high-quality learning opportunities which engage, challenge and inspire all our pupils. Inspected by OFSTED in November 2024, West End Academy is a good school with outstanding behaviour and leadership and management.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Warm Regards,

Chris Johnson
