The role:

This is an excellent opportunity for a practitioner with excellent knowledge of Maths and English and somebody who would be confident differentiating the Class Teacher’s plans to suit more able pupils. The role will be to work alongside several children in the Year 6 class in small groups and as individuals.

You will be expected to work alongside the class teacher in Year 6 to differentiate the planning and have an impact on the acceleration of learning in these subject areas.
