Student Support Assistant

• Student Support Assistants play a crucial role in supporting the inclusion of pupils with additional educational needs in the school community.

• Student Support Assistants will normally work with an individual student, supporting them to overcome barriers to learning (for example, those with English language difficulties, social, emotional and behavioral difficulties or other academic educational needs).

In conjunction with Class Teachers, Student Support Assistants assist in the development and delivery of a suitable program of support both within the classroom and on a one-to-one basis.
