Course Overview
The Focus Awards Level 3 Award in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools is designed for individuals who want to work in a school environment and support children, young people, and teaching staff in a structured and recognised role.
Schools rely on skilled support staff to maintain effective learning environments. This qualification builds the knowledge needed to understand how schools operate, how children and young people develop, and how communication shapes positive professional relationships. It also explains the responsibilities that come with safeguarding and promoting learner wellbeing within an educational setting.
Throughout the course, learners explore the structure of schools as organisations, the expectations placed on support staff, and the importance of working in line with policies, procedures, and ethical standards. The course also covers how teaching assistants contribute to learning while respecting professional boundaries and safeguarding duties.
By completing this qualification, learners gain a nationally recognised award that supports entry into school-based roles and provides a strong foundation for further study within education and childcare sectors.
Kingston Open College advertises and resells this course in affiliation with delivery partners approved by the relevant awarding organisation. For information on course delivery and assessment, feel free to contact the support team.
