We are looking to appoint a successful and experienced teaching assistant to join our friendly and high-performing school. Working with pupils you will help maintain our high standards as recognised by our Ofsted inspection in October 2024. This identified the school’s outstanding work. Aston Tower has also been awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award recognising our excellent work with parents.

Aston Tower is a popular two-form entry multi-cultural school that serves a community which values and supports our work. We have friendly, responsive and enthusiastic children whose attitudes to learning were described as ‘excellent’ by Ofsted along with their outstanding behaviour. Our staff team is skilled, caring, and committed; trustees are keen to be involved and highly supportive. The school is very well-resourced. Our well-kept modern premises are set in spacious grounds which lend themselves to being further developed to promote our pupils’ learning. We recently opened a resource base for pupils with Special Educational Needs following approval from the Department for Education (DfE).
