SEN Teaching Assistant

ACE schools provides specialist educational provision across Devon and Cornwall, working with young people who have not done well in traditional mainstream education.  So we take a different approach: smaller classes or with 1:1 support on site.  A large proportion of the week is spent learning outside the classroom.  And we are very successful, with many of our students going on to further training or work.  Children who previously wouldn’t go to school at all now have a goal and purpose and enjoy their education.

What is a Learning Mentor?  

Our mentors work one to one with children to help them access learning and take part in a wide range of activities both in and outside school. Engaging with our pupils in sport, science and activities based in the countryside are just some of the examples of how being a learning mentor at ACE schools differs from more traditional settings.

Can I be a Learning Mentor?

Many people think that they can’t change career.  That once you have embarked on a path it’s tough to change.  Well maybe.  But in fact if you want to change and use your transferable skills and experience to support children in Devon, there are opportunities. 

Learning Mentors can make a huge difference to young people in a range of ways and never was that more true than for the team of Learning Mentors at ACE Schools, part of Transforming Futures Trust
