• Use effective teaching practices, including explicit instruction, purposeful inquiry, assessment and differentiated learning, to support student progress and achievement.
• Collaborate with Year 6 colleagues and specialist teachers to support shared planning, consistent routines, curriculum delivery and student wellbeing.
• Help students develop the self-management and organisational skills required to move between classes and learning spaces confidently and responsibly.
• Use technology safely and purposefully to enhance learning while maintaining a balance with reading, handwriting, discussion and practical learning experiences.
• Contribute to Year 6 camp, student leadership, the College House system, chapels, assemblies and wider Primary School activities.
