Pam Wood and Pauline Meadows demonstrate the roles of a secondary TA, looking at the work they have done to improve their schools.
Pam has transformed PE provision at South-East Surrey Pupil Referral Unit. Starting with virtually nothing, she has secured funding and facilities to provide a wide range of PE, sport and extra-curricular activities.
Pam also teaches GCSE PE. Her talent and commitment, combined with her manager's vision and support, has seen her role evolve far beyond what she expected.
Pauline is a personalised learning tutor at The John Warner School in Hertfordshire. She has been instrumental in the successful implementation of new technology to help educate pupils who travel.
Take a look at Pauline's work with teenage sisters, born into a travelling showman family, who are benefiting enormously from access to wireless technology.
