Are you seeking a new opportunity to join a talented, ambitious and supportive team? Take a look at the fantastic opening we have within our brand new 3 – 16 school.

Thank you for expressing an interest in the Learning Coach (Numeracy) post at Ysgol Bro Taf; the new 3 – 16 English-medium school based in Pontypridd. The school will open in September 2024 with an £18.5 million investment in the creation of 21st Century learning facilities that reflect our commitment to excellence.

The Learning Coach will work under the direction of the Head of Faculty and in conjunction with the Assistant Headteacher (ALN and inclusion) to provide support in addressing barriers to learning within the STEM faculty. As a key member of the faculty, they will have a sound understanding of the curriculum being delivered and will support teachers in ensuring that the needs of each pupil are met so that they are able to access learning. This will involve implementing a variety of intervention strategies, support for pupils and the creation or adaption of teaching resources. Under the direction of a teacher, supervise whole classes, small groups or individual pupils during the absence of a class teacher.

Our vision is to discover brilliance in every child. We will immerse our pupils in a wide range of opportunities and experiences across different learning contexts inside and outside the classroom. This approach will be central to life at the school. We will also strive to create a happy, safe and secure environment, where children and adults work together to create a culture of support and trust.

Our excellent practitioners and leaders will feel supported to innovate and will challenge the ‘norm’ - pushing the boundaries and not being afraid of doing things differently. Our staff will have a genuine passion for the work that they do; self-motivated, self-disciplined, and driven to succeed and be the best they can be. In return, Ysgol Bro Taf will be an exciting place to work - a place where everyone’s achievements are celebrated, and everyone feels valued for the key contribution they are making to our collective success.

We will create a culture in which openness and an active willingness to share and promote the very best practice are key factors in the drive for improvement in our school. We will be proactive in reaching out to the education community in order to learn from them and share our own expertise. We will also invest heavily in our most valued resource, our staff, and will ensure everyone benefits from a rich and purposeful programme of professional learning to help realise our ambitious vision.
