Cover Supervisor job summary
Our innovative, child-led curriculum has been mentioned in TES, and Bill Lucas' "Zest for Learning" book and fosters curiosity and a love for exploration. As Cover Supervisor, you will play a crucial role in maintaining continuity of learning for our primary school pupils by supervising classes during the short-term absence of teachers.
Through an array of engaging activities, we empower each child to thrive and become well-rounded individuals:
Museum Learning Team - provide ideas and resources to support lesson delivery. For example, we don’t just learn about archaeology, we conduct our own excavations
On-site Exhibitions - use our artefacts from the past to broaden our understanding of people and places
Off-site Trips - takes our learning outside the classroom to bring teaching to life
Community Initiatives - instill a strong sense of purpose and belonging

State-of-the-art building and facilities - the school was built in 2015, with significant investment to support 21st-century learning
A strong and inspirational team who always put children first - “I have never worked in a school where leaders care so much about their staff”TLAP Teacher
Part of the Arbib Education Trust, our friendly, three-school trust provide access to unique resources, support, networking opportunities and career progression/leadership
Pupils enjoy the ‘museum learning’ approach to finding out more. They are curious, ask questions and learn well from experts, experiences and artefacts. This may be from the objects which are on display, such as an Olympic torch, to Reception children experiencing ‘sand between their toes’ with a trip to a lido before learning about the seaside.
