Classroom Support

There are a variety of staff employed to support teachers in their job. 

Teaching/classroom assistants work with teachers during lessons to assist individual pupils with particular learning tasks and to handle general classroom administration. 

Learning mentors help to identify pupils who are achieving less than their potential and then work with them on a one-to-one basis to help them overcome barriers to learning and make progress. 

Special needs officers, speech and language specialists and educational psychologists are also employed to provide support to children who may have particular needs or learning difficulties.
