Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a proactive and enthusiastic individual to support teaching and learning within our school. The role involves supervising lessons in the absence of a class teacher, to ensure that students continue to learn new knowledge and or have opportunities to revisit prior knowledge, so that they continue to progress through the curriculum.

- Establishing purposeful and positive relationships with students.
The role involves you being in front of a class of students (across the secondary age range), supervising a lesson.

The key purpose in your role, is to secure continuity of learning in the teacher’s absence. Thus, enabling students to continue to progress through the curriculum, master new knowledge and skills or consolidating ones they have already learned.

Academic achievement is at the heart of what we do, ensuring students leave with the highest qualifications that enable them to be competitive in the global economy.
