Welcome to School Support Staff.net - the new website for research and consultancy on school support staff

 

 

Today, half of the entire school workforce are support staff, and almost a quarter work as Teaching Assistants (TAs).

 

The latest research makes it clear that more needs to be done in order to maximise the impact of TAs in the drive to raise standards. 

 

School Support Staff.net is the forum for disseminating and following up the ground-breaking five year study, 'the Deployment and Impact of Support Staff' (DISS) project, carried out by the Institute of Education, London.
