Purpose of role:

• Provide consistent 1:1 support for a designated pupil, adapting activities and resources to meet their individual learning needs and enable full access to the primary curriculum.
• Work closely with the class teacher and SENDCo to implement personalised learning plans (e.g. EHCP or targeted interventions), ensuring strategies are followed effectively and progress is regularly monitored.
• Support the pupil’s academic, social, and emotional development, helping to build confidence, resilience, and independence within the classroom and wider school environment.
• Promote positive behaviour and engagement in learning, using agreed behaviour management strategies and reinforcing expectations in a calm, supportive manner.
• Facilitate inclusion in all aspects of school life, including lessons, group work, playtimes, and school activities, encouraging peer interaction and social skills.

• Adapt communication approaches to suit the pupil’s needs, using visual aids, simplified language, or alternative methods where required.
• Encourage the development of independence skills, gradually reducing support where appropriate to empower the pupil to take ownership of their learning.
• Contribute to a positive, inclusive classroom environment, supporting the wider class where needed while maintaining the focus on the targeted pupil.
