Learning Support Teacher (Years N – 8)

Part-time, permanent: 3 – 4 days a week

St Andrew’s is looking to appoint an outstanding and inspirational Learning Support teacher to assist with the teaching of children with SEND; this member of staff will work in the Pre Prep and Prep School (Years N – 8) and join an LS department consisting of five other teachers.

St Andrew’s is a flourishing, forward thinking co-educational IAPS prep school preparing its 320 pupils for a range of senior schools, both locally and nationally. A number of children win scholarships to their senior schools, as they move on to the likes of Abingdon, Bradfield, St Edward’s, Pangbourne, Downe House, Marlborough, The Oratory and Radley College.

In addition, St Andrew’s is also a wonderful place to work, alongside a staff body who take their work seriously, but are less serious about themselves. The successful candidate can expect considerable employee benefits, including an excellent salary, a generous pension and a School fee remission scheme for eligible staff.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Learning Support teacher with at least Level 5. You will be hard-working, enthusiastic and dedicated professional who is passionate about helping to assist children in overcoming perceived barriers, and achieving the highest standards they can.

Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and subject to a successful enhanced DBS check with the Disclosure and Barring Services.

Christmas Champions – Unwrap a New Future

This Christmas we have launched our crowdfunding campaign to help us provide vital support for people with dyslexia from disadvantaged backgrounds.

With the cost-of-living crisis hitting hard and little government funding available, many families are unable to afford essential dyslexia assessments and tutoring. But together, we can change that.

🌟 Making a Difference

Every year, we support over 1,500 individuals with dyslexia. Thanks to donations, 93% of those we help report improved confidence and reduced anxiety, while 94% experience enhanced literacy skills.

This year, our Christmas Crowdfunding Campaign, we are calling on our supporters to help us raise funds make sure everyone can get the advice and support they need on their journey with dyslexia.

🎁 How You Can Help

  • £15 can part-fund family consultations
  • £75 can contribute to a life-changing assessment for a child
    As a thank-you, donations of £75 or more will receive a pack of our beautiful Christmas cards!

🌟 Be a Christmas Champion

Visit our Christmas Champions – Unwrap a New Future Crowdfunder page and help us make sure every child and adult who needs support can access it—this Christmas and beyond.

Together, we can empower more learners and give the gift of confidence, literacy, and a brighter future.

Thank you for being a part of the change this holiday season. 🎄

Our Christmas Appeal

Writing to us at Helen Arkell, Lillian’s mum said,

‘I just wanted to share my proud moment with you. Lillian’s diagnosis has brought her a great deal of comfort in why she struggles and has allowed her to identify areas that there are easy solutions too. She has embraced lots of coping mechanisms and is a much happier little girl – thank you.’
