Thank you to all our fantastic teaching assistants at Willowdown who support our children and teachers in so many fantastic ways!

National Teaching Assistants’ Day. ❤️

We’re saying a huge thank you to all the brilliant teaching assistants who make a difference to children and young people across our 26 schools!

They are the reassuring smile at the classroom door, the extra encouragement when something feels too hard and the person who helps a pupil believe in themselves.

Thanks to all our brilliant teaching assistants!
