As a school, we are keen to develop talent and provide the necessary support so that staff can achieve their aspirations and goals.

General Roles and Responsibilities:

  • Support the learning, development, and wellbeing of individual students, small groups, or whole classes.
  • Deliver targeted interventions (e.g. Phonics, Literacy, SEMH, Metacognition) informed by educational research.
  • Conduct assessments (Lucid, dyslexia, dyscalculia) to identify learning needs and guide support strategies.
  • Track and evaluate student progress using platforms like Edukey, IEPs, and Pupil Passports.
  • Supervise students during lunch, break, and wraparound care, promoting safety and positive behaviour.
  • Foster strong relationships with students, families, and staff to support inclusive learning.
  • Plan and deliver lessons under teacher direction, including providing cover when needed.
  • Collaborate with SENDCo and contribute to intervention planning and review meetings.
