What skills and experience we're looking for

The role of the Cover Supervisor is essential to provide assistance to the teaching departments by delivering lessons already prepared by the teacher. Cover Supervisors are not required to plan, prepare or mark student work and the main day to day duties involve:

• Supervising pupils, ensuring they are engaged in the classwork.
• Helping pupils to become more independent in their learning and assisting with tasks when needed.
• Creating a safe and positive classroom environment.
• Promoting good behaviour in line with the school behaviour policy.
• Providing TA support when not being used as cover.
