Educational Teaching Assistant - Hill View Academy

Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of Hill View Academy.

Thank you for taking an interest in our school. I hope that you find the information both informative and inspiring.

Our academy is a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community, which we aspire to be an outstanding place to learn but also work - where hearts and minds connect.

The children of Hill View Academy and the whole Almondbury community deserve the absolute best and we, as a whole staff, do everything in our power to deliver that. I want to help create a school, working closely with our amazing staff team and other community leaders, that children are desperate to attend - a place they feel safe and happy, excited, and enthralled. A school they can proudly call their own! I am passionate about giving children opportunities to succeed in not just the core subjects but more widely: drama, music, art, and sport for example.

Personal development is at the heart of Hill View Academy; our broad and balanced curriculum is underpinned by the core values of the 4R’s: respect, responsibility, resilience and reflection. All children have the right to excel and we strive to provide every child with opportunities to fulfil their dreams and ambitions whilst providing a caring and nurturing environment which values the uniqueness of each child. Through developing confidence and communication skills, we aim to develop our children into confident, well-rounded individuals who have a belief that their voices and actions can contribute positively to modern society.

In September 2023, we received our first OFSTED report following joining IMPACT Multi Academy Trust. OFSTED recognised the strong offer we provide to children – assessing our school as ‘Good’ in all areas. Below are a selection of quotes from the report which I believe sum up what it means to attend Hill View Academy:

"Pupils are surrounded by adults they know care deeply about them and want the best for them." "Throughout school, the 'R' of respect is highly visible through the ways pupils interact with each other."
"Pupils enjoy coming to school. They enjoy being in lessons with, and alongside, each other. They build strong relationships with adults in the school. These secure relationships mean that pupils feel confident to share concerns with adults."
"Pupils are very positive about their learning."
"Reading is cherished at this school."
