The ethos of St John Paul II Multi Academy is Catholic and was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families.

As a Catholic multi academy, we aim to provide a Catholic education for all our pupils. As a Catholic multi academy, Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every aspect of every one of our school’s activities. It is essential that the Catholic character of the school’s education be fully supported by all staff within the multi academy. We therefore hope that all staff will give their full, unreserved and positive support for the aims and ethos of the St John Paul II Multi Academy.

We’re looking for enthusiastic, caring and committed Teaching Assistants Level 3 who are ready to make a real impact. In this role, you’ll work closely with class teachers, families and the SENDCO to ensure every pupil is fully included and engaged in school life. Your support will help create a vibrant, nurturing and inclusive environment where children feel confident, valued and able to thrive.
