• Use assessment to identify gaps, address misconceptions and plan next steps.
• Maintain a calm, purposeful classroom with clear expectations for behaviour and learning.
• Complete pupil progress information and accurate end-of-year reports.

• Communicate professionally with families and attend meetings, training days and parents evenings.
