- Classroom Stewardship: At the end of each day, you must ensure the classroom is reset, organised, and tidy, ready for the following morning.
- Comprehensive Handover: You will leave detailed handover notes for the returning class teacher, highlighting pupil progress, any behavioural points, and important messages from parents or staff.
- Adaptability: Maintaining the "Good" and "Outstanding" standards of our partner schools across EYFS, KS1, and KS2.
