• Ensuring all pupils are supported with their classwork and learning, assisting in the raising of attainment across the department
• Supporting pupils with any SEMH needs they may have as well as assisting the teacher in effectively dealing with any pupils who show signs of challenging behaviour and promoting the schools behaviour policy
• Work with the teacher and monitor pupils progress while planning development plans alongside the pupil to help them reach their potential
• Assist in extra curricular activities, whether this is after-school clubs, helping during exams, or going on school trips
