Classroom Support
Teaching Assistants, Cover Supervisors, mentors and specialist support staff from Protocol Education
Teaching Assistants, Cover Supervisors, and specialist support staff are essential elements of school staffing. Teaching Assistants work closely with pupils, individually and in small groups, to help them understand the material the classroom teacher has covered, complementing your teachers and ensuring curriculum knowledge and skills are secured.
Teaching assistants play a vital role in maximizing equal access to education. The role of TAs in providing practical support for children with special educational needs is enshrined in the government’s official SEND Code of Practice.
Your local Protocol Education branch can provide you with local, committed educators able to support your full range of pupils.
We have the staff available to ensure you can deliver the support your pupils need. Whether it is daily supply to cover absence, recent graduates looking to start a career in education or experienced support staff able to deliver support, interventions and tuition, we can help find the right people for your school.
The impact the pandemic has had on your pupils is still being felt. Teaching Assistants and support staff have a key role to play in closing the gaps the school closures opened.
We will help you build and staff a catch-up tuition programme tailored to the needs of your pupils and deliver the extra help some pupils will need via our intervention specialists, behaviour mentors and SEN staff.
