At Mother Teresa Catholic Academy Trust, Teaching Assistants play a vital role in supporting learning, strengthening inclusion, and ensuring that every pupil is known, valued, and supported to succeed. Our Teaching Assistants development pathway, supported through the Supporting Education SkillsHub, provides a structured and high-quality professional learning framework designed to recognise and develop the essential contribution of Teaching Assistants across all phases.

These pathways equip practitioners with specialist knowledge and practical strategies to support learning, behaviour, communication and pastoral care, enabling them to work confidently with individuals and groups.
​
Through accredited training, coaching and mentoring, and opportunities for reflective professional dialogue, Teaching Assistants enhance their classroom practice and contribute meaningfully to school improvement priorities. By valuing their role, building expertise and offering recognised development opportunities, the pathway supports Teaching Assistants to grow professionally, strengthen inclusive practice, and improve outcomes for all pupils within our Catholic community.
