We are looking for a caring, experienced and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor to work alongside the class teacher to support learning in class and run interventions, to join our team and be a proactive integrated member of the School Staff Team.

As part of your role you will, under the direction of a teacher, support in the learning process and utilise your skills to assist the teacher to create an educational environment in which a pupil's all-round development is achieved.

Our school is a truly special place-a thriving community where diversity is celebrated, and every student is valued. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a nurturing, inclusive environment that breaks down barriers to learning and supports pupils from a variety of ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. We are committed to closing attainment gaps and fostering a child-centred, learning-focused setting where everyone can flourish.

We believe in providing education that extends beyond the classroom, preparing our students for success in all aspects of life. Lessons in vocational studies truly impact our student's success for future destinations and career journeys. If you have experience in construction-either in industry or education-that's a bonus, but it's your willingness to learn and grow that matters most. We care deeply about the well-being of our staff and students, recognising this as the foundation of our school's success.

"The school continues to train teachers to use the most effective teaching methods. This means staff are extremely knowledgeable about the special educational needs of pupils and how to adapt their teaching to meet these needs."- OFSTED
