Summary Description Borrow Wood Primary School is part of the Odyssey Collaborative Trust (OCT). OCT is a local Derby City trust currently consisting of 7 schools. The trust was formed in March 2019 by the head teachers of the 6 founding schools, who share a strong ethical vision based on retaining the identity and ethos of each individual school, whilst working together to promote and maximize opportunities to provide the best possible education for all children across the Trust. Therefore, we are not managed and controlled remotely by a large Multi-Academy Trust. Nor do we have a corporate image. We are proud of being Borrow Wood Primary School with our own individual ethos of: CHOICE
This is a very exciting time to join Borrow Wood and become part of The Odyssey Collaborative Trust journey to excellence. We are, therefore, looking to appoint a Learning Mentor, who is committed, dedicated, determined and resilient - an individual who is keen to support children overcome barriers and become successful learners. You will need to: 1. Manage time effectively and respond flexibly to the needs of the children. 2. Implement learning strategies under the direction of class teacher and SENCo to support children’s development and progress. 3. Report information and evidence back to the class teacher and SENCo so that planning next steps is accurate. 4. Respond calmly and constructively when dealing with children with SEND. 5. Be an effective team player. 6. Learn about and implement a range of strategies to support children in accessing a broad and balanced curriculum adapted to their needs should it be required. 7. Believe that ALL children should be the best they can be.
In return, we provide the opportunity to work within a school that promotes inclusion and seeks to eliminate barriers to learning for our most vulnerable children and to be part of a staffing team that works closely together to support all of our children. We also encourage our staff to be open minded to all learning opportunities for themselves and therefore place high value on CPD to keep our staff up to date with skills and knowledge. Borrow Wood Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As this post is regulated activity, successful appointments are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and relevant recruitment checks that comply with guidance in the most recent version of Keeping Children Safe in Education. We are committed to equality of opportunity in employment and services. Borrow Wood Primary School is part of the Odyssey Collaborative Trust
