Teaching Assistant
At Thorpe Primary school, we are proud to offer a stimulating, engaging and caring nursery environment for the children to begin their education.
- Through thoughtful planning, we offer the children opportunities to explore, discover and learn through indoor and outdoor provision. Our ultimate goal is for children to thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning so they are prepared for the next stage of their education.
- We aim to create an environment that feels safe and to build trusting relationships; this is done through parent partnerships and planning based on the children's needs and interests, as well as putting the child's voice at the heart of what we do.
- We want the children to feel confident to develop their own skills, build independence and resilience and understand how to respect the world around us.
- As passionate professionals, we support children by providing rich learning experiences, extending their learning and capturing magical moments.
