Happy National Teaching Assistants Day! ⭐

Today, we're celebrating the incredible TAs across our Trust and the difference they make to our pupils every single day. 💙

To mark the occasion, we stepped into the shoes of Jess, a Reception Class TA from Peckover Primary School and Carly, a Special Educational Needs TA from Thrapston Primary School, to see what a typical day in the life of a TA really looks like. 👀🔍

From supporting learning and getting creative to preparing activities and everything in between, no two days are ever the same.

Starting at a new school can bring a mix of excitement, nerves and everything in between and even a couple of weeks in, it can still feel very new. 💙

To make those first few weeks a little easier, pupils from Kettering Science Academy and Thrapston Primary School shared their top tips for settling in.

Their message was simple:

💬 Talk to new classmates.
🙋 Ask for help when you need it.
🫶 Most importantly, be yourself.

We’re proud to see our pupils supporting one another and making everyone feel welcomed, reassured and ready for the journey ahead!
