Accurate feedback matters too. You'll share what pupils have understood, where they are struggling and any concerns requiring attention.

• Knowledge of KS1 or KS2 classroom practice.
• Phonics, small-group intervention or SEN/SEND support.
• A Teaching Assistant qualification or relevant classroom experience.
