Introduction

Calthorpe School is a special needs school and our pupils need varying levels of support at lunchtime. You may be involved in the actual feeding of some children or supervising in a dinner hall.

Once your group has finished their meal then you will be required to supervise in the playground. This involves directing play, engaging pupils in conversation, and ensuring that the children play safely.

As our pupils have very different needs you will need to get to know your group and understand their specific requirements.

• In the playground pupils need to be supervised so that they remain safe, encourage them to play and interact where appropriate
• Manage behaviour of pupils where required
• Some pupils will require nappies or pads to be changed and others may need to be directed when going to the toilet areas
