Joanne Fox

I am a caring, dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant committed to supporting children's learning, wellbeing and personal development. I work effectively within school teams to create positive, inclusive and nurturing environments where pupils feel safe, valued and encouraged to achieve their potential. I have experience supporting pupils individually and in groups, adapting approaches to meet individual needs, including SEN and EHCP support.

Organised, reliable and professional, I am committed to safeguarding, positive behaviour support and contributing fully to wider school life.
