For a long time support staff in schools, from cleaners to the teaching assistants, were not regarded as the key people they have shown themselves to be.
The realisation that support staff are the back bone to the success of any organisation is something long-recognised by KAA. This is why we offer an extensive and impressive list of programmes to support the development of your people.
Teaching Assistants, Support Staff, Cover Supervisors, Learning Mentors, Administrative staff and other people working in educational settings are well catered for by a rich offer that has a focus on sustainable professional development rather than one-off in-service training.
