Level 4 Teaching Assistant

Morpeth All Saints is a thriving, vibrant and happy school community located within Lancaster Park, a short walk from the centre of Morpeth. We are a one and a half form entry first school, which means that we admit a maximum of 45 children into our school each academic year. Being a first school, we operate classes from Nursery to Year 4 and currently have around 220 pupils on roll.After their time with us, the vast majority of pupils transition to Chantry Middle School, which is also in Cheviot Learning Trust. As a one and a half form entry school, we teach both pure and mixed-aged year groups throughout Key Stage One and Two.

At Morpeth All Saints, we strive to enable all children within our care to achieve their very best, fully utilising their God given gifts and talents. We provide our children with a stimulating, safe and happy learning environment which is rooted in mutual respect of one another. Jesus told us to love our neighbour as we love ourselves and this teaching is very close to our hearts here at Morpeth All Saints. As a result, our children and school community truly flourish achieving our school vision of ‘Together We Flourish’ (John 10:10)

In our school we endeavour for our children to foster a passion for discovering new things, to be curious about the world around them and to be independent, enthusiastic learners. Our whole school community truly believes that all children are unique individuals. Our aims therefore are to provide a high quality education which supports, yet challenges, to ensure that our curriculum is enriched and tailored to each child we serve and to maintain an engaging, purposeful and interactive school environment.

We are passionate about providing our children with a rich and ambitious curriculum that inspires curiosity, develops skills and opens doors to new experiences. Our subject leaders are committed to ensuring that learning goes beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum, creating opportunities for children to discover their passions and develop as historians, scientists, athletes, artists and much more.

We are continually evolving our curriculum to reflect the world in which our children live and the future they will help to shape. We want our staff to be part of this journey; bringing creativity, expertise and enthusiasm to their teaching and helping to provide experiences that children will remember and value. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to preparing every child to flourish, achieve their potential and become confident, capable and successful throughout life.

We are extremely fortunate here at Morpeth All Saints to have a hard-working, dedicated, and caring team of staff. They are proud of our school and its achievements, and actively seek to maintain and improve standards in all areas of school life. They work to bring out the God given gifts of each child, to exemplify and promote good values, and to prepare children for the fast changing world in which we all live.
