We’re thrilled to announce that our Level 5 Specialist Teaching Assistant apprenticeship has been shortlisted in the CPD category at the 2025 Teach Primary Awards!
Since the apprenticeship’s launch in January 2025, our four specialist pathways—SEND, Social and Emotional Wellbeing, Literacy, and Language and Literacy—have had an incredible impact. We even had the honour of facilitating a ministerial visit to a school where three of our apprentices are already making a tangible difference.
In addition to specialisation and building skills that directly benefit their pupils, apprentices can, depending on pathway, benefit from value-added qualifications including Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) status and Elklan’s Level 3 qualification in Speech and Language Support for 5-11s.
We’d like to extend congratulations to our colleagues, partners and current apprentices. Their hard work has made this programme a success, and we can’t wait to welcome our next cohort in September 2025.
