Schools face increasing challenges in both retaining and recruiting skilled support staff. Providing high-quality development and training aligned with a clear career path is key to building a stable, capable workforce that can deliver the support required to foster inclusive education.

Our Specialist Teaching Assistant programme is designed to develop and upskill experienced teaching assistants, ensuring they have the expertise to deliver targeted interventions and enhance learning experiences.

By offering specialist pathways in SEND, Wellbeing and Curriculum, this programme provides schools with a structured approach to nurturing and retaining dedicated teaching assistants.

It not only upskills teaching assistants in their role but also serves as a potential pathway towards being a qualified teacher and a university degree. The programme equips learners with in-depth knowledge of inclusive education and classroom practice, creating a fully funded, structured pathway for those looking to gain QTS.

Strengthening workforce stability and creating a pipeline of qualified teachers – ultimately enhancing student outcomes and fostering an inclusive educational environment.
