A vacancy has arisen for a Teaching Assistant to join Manor Drive Primary Academy, part of the Four Cs Multi-Academy Trust. The successful candidate will be someone with high levels of motivation; a commitment and enthusiasm to children’s learning; have an ability to inspire and motivate our future generations; and promote a culture that challenges children to reach the highest levels of social and academic achievement.

This is an exciting time to join a new and developing school as we work hard to provide an excellent level of education for our pupils and to create a positive school community to serve the Manor Drive area. The Academy is supported by the MAT with all schools involved sharing a common interest in improving the standards of education for children in Peterborough.

The role will be fast paced, varied and child centred. The successful candidate will support teaching staff to deliver excellent learning opportunities and meeting children’s needs. On occasion, you may need to work in our nursery provision.
