Cover Supervisor - Canons High School

Canons High School is a vibrant and dynamic multicultural school community in Edgware, NW London. Our school is renowned for being one in which people matter. Relationships are strong, opportunities for progression are many and the personal and professional development of adults and children is at the heart of what we do. Our most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2023 judged us to be good in all areas, noting that students "feel valued", that our "curriculum is ambitious", that staff "workload is reasonable" and senior leaders "are approachable and care". About you:

• Ability to work under the guidance of the Senior Cover Supervisor and senior staff, within an agreed system of lesson supervision, to implement work programmes with individuals/groups in or out of the classroom, including the supervision of whole classes during the short-term absence of teachers.
• To support all students to access the social and academic curriculum in the most effective way, appropriate to their needs and understanding.
• To be aware of particular students' specific needs and support individuals and groups of pupils to enable access to learning - this could include those requiring additional support, or, detailed and specialist knowledge in particular areas

• To create a calm and purposeful environment, in which students can complete work set, engender high expectations and promote the inclusion and acceptance of all students within the classroom
• To follow school systems and procedures on behaviour management inside and outside the classroom and reporting back as appropriate using the schools' agreed referral procedures on the behaviour of pupils during the lesson and following up as necessary
• To register and record student attendance electronically and/or manually as required
• To assist with the collation of a bank of cover work in liaison with the Senior Cover Supervisor and relevant members of teaching staff for planned cover
