Richmond Park Academy (RPA), is part of the Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) group and is situated in East Sheen, close to Richmond Park. Richmond, Kingston and the West End are all between 15 and 30 minutes journey from the school and our proximity to central London means that students can benefit enormously from the vast range of social, cultural, sporting and academic opportunities that we are able to access.
Our student body is diverse, exciting and talented - and the same is true of our staff. We put huge emphasis on professional development, most of it in-house, and are proud of the high number of good and outstanding teachers who work in our school. We are also noted for our 'can do' attitude. We are keen, always, to encourage new and/or young staff to make their mark as soon as they are ready.
The school completed a £10m rebuild and refurbishment programme, including the introduction of a 6th form in 2014. Our 2018 Ofsted reported that we were a 'good' school in all categories. The inspectors judged: "Staff feel well supported and happy to be part of the drive for improvement".
We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant to provide an efficient and high quality support service to all students at the academy and champion teaching strategies for students with special educational needs. Ideally, you will have worked previously with SEN students and have the ability to establish quickly a positive relationship in order to stretch and maximise their learning. You will be working on a one to one basis and small groups in line with the national curriculum, codes of practice and more widely, the Academy.
