We are Isham Church of England Primary School; a school which has been a feature of the parish of Isham since 1840, and an academy, which is part of the wider family of the Peterborough Diocese Education Trust (PDET).

Isham has always embraced the ‘whole’ child, ensuring academic rigour is set within a wider theological and educational context. We understand that the Arts, Sport and Faith together with good pastoral, spiritual & mental health support drive standards far more rapidly than any diet restricted to English & Maths and, thus, these feature heavily in our school.

We also acknowledge that mental health, resilience and good pastoral support is critical in supporting the staff team to pro-actively manage all challenges that they face, in ensuring our children leave us being the best they can be & well prepared for the next phase of their journey.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a highly motivated Teaching Assistant with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to join our committed team. The role involves supporting teachers and pupils in the delivery of quality teaching and a modern curriculum while guiding pupils to reach their full potential and to flourish.

·        When required will cover for teacher absence/training

We can offer you:

·        A fantastic opportunity to develop your career
