Darton Academy are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant Level 1 to join our academy in July 2025, on a permanent, part time basis.

Are you looking for a role that will enable you to influence and give direction to the children in a large successful academy? Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.

Your new role

As a Teaching Assistant Level 1, you will work under the direct instruction of teaching/senior staff, usually in a classroom with the teacher. You will support pupils to ensure they can access learning and provide general support to the teacher in the management of pupils and the classroom.

Please see the job description on our website for more information on the criteria and role.

If you feel you have the necessary skills and experience required for this position, then we would very much like to hear from you.

Your new school

Darton Academy is an exciting place to learn and as soon as you enter the building you can feel a buzz of enthusiasm. There is a sense of purpose, and the academy is calm and orderly, with state-of-the-art facilities. We are a close-knit community, and we pride ourselves on knowing our pupils well and doing our utmost to ensure everyone fulfils their true potential.

We aim to ensure that our pupils can learn in a safe and supportive environment, where everyone values academic achievement and has a positive attitude to learning. As a result of our journey of continuous improvement, our pupils secured an amazing set of exam results in the summer of 2023, with 55% of pupils achieving a grade 5 or higher in maths and English, and 75% achieving a grade 4 or higher. We continue to go from strength to strength and our unvalidated progress 8 score is 0.38 which far exceeds expectations for pupils of similar ability nationally. Darton Academy is yet again one of the highest performing schools in Barnsley. In February 2023 Ofsted graded us Good with an outstanding personal development offer.

We strongly encourage our pupils to take part in enrichment activities so they can discover all their strengths and talents, and run over forty clubs, as well as pupil support sessions and interventions. We also regularly organise whole school events and educational visits so that our pupils have a broad experience of learning beyond the classroom.

We believe in rewarding pupils for good behaviour, attendance and achievement and run a number of celebration events throughout the year, from “Super September” to our summer “DartFest”. We place learning at the heart of everything we do and use our core values of respect, responsibility, and resilience to build a positive ethos.

Why join us?

Staff across the trust are talented and enthusiastic, and all contribute to the trust’s success story.
