School support staff (including teaching assistants) are employed to support teachers in a variety of functions. Their roles vary between schools; some support individual pupils with special needs while others support the whole class or groups within the class, especially with literacy and numeracy. Support staff may also provide administrative or technical support, or be involved in pastoral care.
