SEN Teaching And Learning Assistant

We are proud to be one of the seven primary and special schools which make up the Orchard Community Trust. The trust shares the same ethos and values as ourselves, with children being at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to give our children a wide range of opportunities and secure the best possible outcomes for them by working in close partnership with our family of schools and with our parents and carers. At Etruscan we want to serve our community by providing children with a high quality education and a curriculum which is relevant, engaging and aspirational. Through following our school motto of ‘Reach for the Stars’ and our ‘REACH’ values, our children are respectful, enjoy learning, achieve their best, collaborate together and are honest members of the community. We place a strong emphasis on ensuring all of our children are included, supported and challenged so that they can realise their potential and flourish, feeling safe and happy within our caring family. To ensure our children are ready for the next phase of their education and their lives, it is our responsibility to ensure they are kind, happy, confident and adaptable young people, equipped with good academic skills, well-developed social skills, resilience, high aspirations and a passion for learning. At Etruscan, children feel valued and parents and carers are welcomed as partners in their children’s education. Together we can ensure that the children achieve their very best. Children only get one chance at their primary education and it is our responsibility to ensure that they become lifelong learners, making the best possible progress from their individual starting points.

Orchard Community Trust (OCT) is a collaborative, values-driven multi-academy trust whose vision is clear: Working together, we enable everyone to flourish through high-quality education. Guided by the values of Courage, Unity and Equity, we are committed to creating inclusive, caring and ambitious school communities where every child and adult is supported to thrive. Our schools are welcoming, well-led and focused on delivering exceptional learning experiences, helping children grow academically, socially and emotionally to reach their full potential. As a Trust, we recognise our people as our greatest asset - encouraging innovation, celebrating success and empowering every colleague to contribute to our mission and to flourish in their role. Staff across OCT benefit from strong collaboration, high-quality CPD, shared expertise and a culture that values wellbeing, growth and positive working relationships.
