A bit about us:
We have an exciting opportunity for a warm, creative and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to support students with their learning based in the Resource Base provision here at Clarendon Infants.
At Clarendon Federation, we are proud to host a specialist Resource Base for children with communication and interaction needs, including those with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). The provision is an integral part of our inclusive school community and offers a nurturing environment where pupils can thrive both academically and emotionally.
Our Resource Base provides personalised teaching and support for children who benefit from a more tailored approach to learning, while maintaining strong connections with the wider school. Pupils are part of their mainstream classes where appropriate, supported by skilled adults who understand their individual needs and strengths.
We work closely with families, specialists and external agencies to ensure every child has the right support in place. Our highly trained staff build trusting relationships with each pupil and help them to develop confidence, independence, communication skills and a sense of belonging.
The Resource Base is not separate from our school—it’s a valued and vibrant part of it. Our ethos of inclusion, respect and high expectations extends to every corner of Clarendon Federation, and we are committed to ensuring that all children, whatever their starting points, can flourish.
