Secondary school teaching assistants (FOI)

Request

Education Department and all States secondary schools:

I would like to know how many Key Workers, Learning Support Assistants, Learning / Behaviour Mentors, and at what grade, 4,5,6 or 7, are in each school.

Response

The table below shows the number of Key Workers, Learning/Behaviour Mentors and Learning Support Assistants across grades 4,5,6 and 7. The Department have determined that to provide a breakdown of grades would likely breach the privacy of individuals and therefore, Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

*Represents smaller schools and provisions and those that cover more than 1 school

The table does not reflect FTE or any other roles that would qualify within the Teaching Assistant Framework.
