Some work exclusively delivering intervention and in monitoring roles, others work directly in the classroom supporting the teacher. This can include small group work as well as supporting individuals with specific tasks. Most TAs are keyworkers to a handful of students who need that extra regular contact with home. We are holding half termly SEND Coffee Mornings/afternoon sessions for parents to attend. Following parent feedback we are looking to arrange external visitors to these sessions.
