The Role
In this role, you will be working across the Year 5 cohort, supporting pupils to make strong academic progress in preparation for upper Key Stage 2. Your main responsibilities will include leading targeted English and Maths interventions, working with small groups of pupils to build confidence, strengthen core skills, and close learning gaps.
