Description
Summary:	By ensuring all their TAs receive the specialist training needed to develop their roles, Hereford Academy has been able to incorporate a range of learning support schemes that complement the core curriculum. It's recognised that this empowerment of staff (both teachers and support workers) has played a role in dramatically improving the Academy's results, from 33% A* - C in 2006 to 74% in 2008. Almost two thirds of pupils arrive at the Academy with a literacy age two years below their chronological age. The TA team manage and monitor a number of literacy (and numeracy) interventions that target these pupils. In this programme the TAs and their enthusiastic managers explain their formula for success - and how a happy and motivated team ensures a school gets the most out of its support workers.
