The role of the Cover Supervisor is to ensure a safe and engaging working environment for classes whose teacher is absent in order for all students to be able to access and complete the work set by the member of teaching staff.

During cover lessons the role of Cover Supervisor will be to ensure all pupils understand the task which has been set and are engaged with learning, this may require differentiating work further or clarifying tasks students need to complete. Tasks may also need to be created to extend and challenge pupils if they complete the cover work before the end of the lesson. A creative and adaptive approach can at times be needed in this post.

You will also be expected to manage the behaviour of the class, in accordance with the Academy’s behaviour policy. It will be essential to work with the students to ensure they are getting the most of out of the lesson and to facilitate their learning as much as possible.

Curriculum: The Academy offers a wide curriculum for years 7 to 13. The lower school, years 7 to 9, take part in the Middle Years Programme whilst years 10 and 11 are GCSE focused.
