A bit about us:
Redland Primary School is a popular 10 class primary school in Chippenham, which is well regarded in the community.

As a school, we fundamentally believe in developing and nurturing the whole child. Each child is unique, which is something we celebrate and value as a school. The core skills of English and maths are extremely important, but they alone do not define a child. Providing a curriculum which is enriching and broad, which stimulates interest and curiosity is integral. Alongside this, we actively promote being healthy and as active as possible. We realise that not all children enjoy the same types of sport and activity, so we want to provide them with opportunities to experience a number of alternative sports that can encourage them in a lifelong love of sport and activity. This is supported by educating them in living a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally, through the ‘Jigsaw’ PSHE scheme of learning, and other programmes such as ‘Healthy Heroes.’

All about the role:

We are in the process of developing our lunchtime participation play activities through the OPAL programme. (Outdoor play and learning) and wish to appoint an enthusiastic, caring and friendly person to join our MDSA team.

The successful applicant will be someone who can:

• Supervise, support and interact with children of all ages in the different areas around the school (playground, school hall etc) whilst they are eating lunch or taking part in lunchtime activities.
• Facilitate and support a variety of outdoor play activities for the children at lunchtime
• Provide basic first aid when needed
• Clean and tidy the school dinner hall

We wish to appoint someone who has:

• A friendly, kind and approachable manner.
• An ability to remain calm under pressure.
• A flexible approach
• A caring and supportive nature
