At Wallscourt
At Wallscourt, we employ Teaching Partners rather than Teaching Assistants. A Teaching Partner is a valued, Level 3-qualified member of staff who works alongside teachers as part of a highly collaborative team. Our Teaching Partners play a key role in day-to-day teaching and learning, attend weekly team meetings, and access the same high-quality professional development opportunities as teaching staff.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
