They promote effective learning, teaching, personal development, health and well-being, and an atmosphere of achievement.

They support teachers in the effective and efficient use of resources to enhance teaching and learning and to raise attainment. Learning Assistants contribute to raising achievement and assist in the supervision, safety, and care of pupils, including those with additional support needs arising from behavioral, learning, sensory, or physical impairments, or family circumstances.

They work with pupils on a one-to-one basis or in groups, in various settings, depending on the school's needs.
