Casual/Fixed Term Breakfast & After School Club – Playleader (Shiphay)
Flexible shifts available
Shiphay Learning Academy is a happy and healthy place to learn. We are very much a ‘family’ school; we cultivate and nurture our core values of Respecting, Contribution, Creativeness and Aspiration in all our activities and relationships for all our children and staff. Shiphay Learning Academy is a place where children learn to be part of a diverse community, where they are prepared for life beyond primary school, and where learning is an experience to be enjoyed.
Led by a passionate and supportive Head, Shiphay Learning Academy is an inclusive school with high expectations of what our pupils can achieve. We work at the forefront of education, supporting local schools, and working collaboratively with schools across the South West to ensure that children at Shiphay – and our schools within Riviera Education Trust - get the very best education available; this is reflected in our consistently high standards of attainment in academic subjects.
