As part of the Lighthouse Schools’ Partnership and one of 34 National English Hubs, we are proud to offer a clear and purposeful pedagogy, an engaging and ambitious curriculum, and high expectations for every member of our school community. We are deeply committed to ensuring the highest quality of teaching and learning, and we invest in high-quality professional development for all staff, supporting them to grow and flourish as outstanding practitioners. At St Peter’s, we care deeply about the success, wellbeing and development of both our pupils and our team.

We are looking for an HLTA who will bring energy, passion and dedication to our school community. The ideal candidate will:

• Be committed to our safeguarding culture and ensure that each child’s wellbeing is a top priority.
• Be driven by a genuine passion to make a meaningful difference in the lives of all children, supporting our vision of excellence and flourishing
