As a Cover Supervisor, your primary responsibility will be to supervise the class as they engage with the assigned tasks. While no active teaching, marking, or planning is required, you will play a crucial role in maintaining a conducive learning environment and facilitating the completion of set work. This hands-on experience will provide you with valuable insights into the dynamics of classroom management and student engagement, offering a realistic glimpse into the responsibilities of a teacher.

Additionally, you will collaborate with the entire staff team to support the school's pastoral systems, contributing to student development. Lastly, you will familiarize yourself with the school's policies, exploring their development and underlying rationale.
