TAs at our school know that no two days are the same and that no two children are the same either. Our TAs may be supporting teachers in the classroom, working with children 1:1, managing classroom resources, taking children on trips and visits, having their lunch with children who struggle socially, playing board games, conducting science experiments, making amazing displays and celebrating success. They are equal parts TA, key worker, counsellor, entertainer, problem solver and boundary giver.
