Pupils are taught within small year group classes, usually not exceeding more than 10 pupils per class, with generous staffing related to the specific needs of the class consisting of a teacher with a team of Learning Support Assistants.

Aperçu — adapté à Teaching Personnel
Dear Hiring Manager,
Teaching Personnel's partnership with a Special Educational Needs school in Bridgend is precisely the environment in which I want to develop my career in education. The role of Learning Support Assistant appeals to me because of its focus on individual development plans and sensory, practical learning — approaches I believe are fundamental to meaningful progress for young people with SEN.
My background in working with children and young people has given me a grounding in child-centred support, behaviour management, and building the kind of consistent, trusting relationships that pupils aged 3–19 with complex needs rely on. I hold an Enhanced DBS and am prepared to complete the Education Workforce Council registration process without delay.
