Using TAs Effectively

Description

This programme follows Jakki Powell, the Learning Support Manager of Tanbridge House School in Horsham as she travels to Bexhill High School in East Sussex, nationally recognised for its use of TAs, to find out how their strategy works.

By meeting key figures involved in the school's learning support department and observing lessons in progress, Jakki discovers how Bexhill High helps ensure TAs are as effective as possible in every class they support.

Her guide is Bexhill High's learning support manager, Penny Jones. Winning TA of the Year award in 2002 and an MBE in 2004 for her contributions to education, Penny has played a key part in putting the role of the TA at the heart of Bexhill High School.
