Job overview
As part of the Inclusion Team, Student Supervisors support the smooth running of the school by supervising and directing pupils in and about the school during the day. They report to the Assistant Headteacher (Pastoral) but are part of a large team, whose staff are all of equal value in working to involve all pupils positively in the life of the School to achieve their targets.
Student Supervisors work throughout the day on a rota depending on the school’s needs. During lesson times, duties may involve supervising the school building and grounds and picking up pupils who are absent from lessons without permission, checking and monitoring toilets or recording the names of pupils who arrive late to school and follow up with persistent offenders. They can support cover staff new to the school and escort students sent out of lessons to the place designated. During changeover of lessons and at breaks Student Supervisors will supervise and direct pupils, paying particular attention to their safety and security. Other duties may include supervising our relocation room or Learning support centre and to maintain highest levels of expectations from all students. Of course, other duties may be required during the day but these will be subject to individual negotiation.
MAIN ACTIVITIES:
- Assisting and directing pupils as required. Dealing with incidents of inappropriate behaviour and intervening quickly where possible to prevent further incidents.
- Implementing the School Code of Conduct.
- Implementing the School Policies on Equal Opportunities, Anti-Bullying, Child Protection and Behaviour and reporting any concerns to the Senior Student Supervisor.
- Monitoring the security of the pupils and staff, reporting any concerns immediately.
We expect our Student Supervisors to:
- Always expect the best from pupils
- Make it clear to pupils what is expected from them
- Reward and praise pupils when they do the ‘right’ thing
- Value pupils efforts and achievements
- Make time to get to know individual pupils
- Avoid personalising individual behaviour problems – be tough the incidents but caring towards the pupil

Riverside’s strict and calm working atmosphere creates well-rounded individuals who excel in the arts, on the sporting field and academically. Our extra-curricular programme is fundamental to what we desire for our learners - we refer to it as the ‘essential wider curriculum’ (EWC). We pride ourselves on knowing all our learners really well, thus engineering a curriculum to actuate a wholly inclusive and highly ambitious education for all. Riverside School is currently in the country's top 50 schools for student progress, P8: +0.99 and was graded Ofsted outstanding in October 2022. Our huge success is underpinned by the highest quality professional development for all staff.
Ofsted report
October 2022:
"The school’s motto, ‘Excellence for All’, reflects the ambition that leaders have for the whole school community. A very strong culture of high expectations across the school means that pupils here are encouraged to succeed. Pupils benefit from a rich curriculum that is taught expertly by very well-trained staff. The ambition for all to do well includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who follow the same carefully considered curriculum as their peers.
Pupils work hard and achieve well. Very clearly established routines ensure that pupils are engaged in their learning and that their work is of a consistently high quality. Standards of behaviour are very high. Lessons are not disrupted by poor behaviour, and cases of bullying are rare. When bullying does happen, pupils are confident that it will be dealt with. Pupils feel safe in the school.
Pupils enjoy school and appreciate the wide range of additional opportunities that they have. This includes a range of high-profile visiting guest speakers and a variety of after-school clubs and sporting activities. Pupils are active in supporting community projects."
