• Create a structured, stimulating and well‑organised learning environment that meets individual student needs

• Promote students’ physical, educational and moral development in line with Company values and policies

• Coordinate subject and area development across key stages, as agreed with the Headteacher

• Work collaboratively with Learning Support Assistants and care staff to ensure effective delivery of learning and resources

• Ensure student safety at all times, adhering to risk assessments for on‑site and off‑site activities
